Do you notice when you are in a spin about something?
To some it might seem silly that a simple invitation to come over would induce a bit of a tizzy in someone else.
But when you have been stuck in fight or flight mode for so long- your brain literally is wired to see danger everywhere... and it's really hard to see anything else.
So no, it's not silly.
It's a person who is dysregulated in their emotions and nervous system and needs gentle care to be brought out of that state- not backed into a corner.
Gentle care might mean a breathing technique to calm the heart rate and get physical symptoms in check.
It also might look like a tool that can be used like a check list- "This thing is happening to me, I'm feeling awful inside- what do I do?"
Checklist: Heart Focused Breathing until you feel the shift into calm.
A gentle questionaire to SEE rather than hold in your head: A Freeze Frame. A pause in the moment and a check in with yourself to process it through in a non threatening way. No judgement. No wrong answer. No expectation other than the physical shift.
Emotional Regulation is a thing. And it may be the most important one to help you unlock the rest of what you have going on that's causing stress in your life!
In the Comments I will leave you a no strings attached link to Heart Focused Breathing. It could be just the start you need!
