Feeling overwhelmed or dysregulated?
Try this Calm or Safe Space strategy to support emotional regulation and relaxation.
Here's how to use it:
1️⃣ Picture a place where you feel calm or safe (or pull up a photo)
2️⃣ Bring in all the sensory details: what do you see, hear, smell, feel?
3️⃣ Gently do the butterfly hug (thumbs crossed, tapping slowly on your upper chest)
4️⃣ Notice what sensations or emotions come up for you
This practice can help ground you in moments of stress or simply to give your nervous system a moment to rest.
Save this for the next time your body needs a little extra care.
