Welcoming
Drowning
- Letting yourself be carried away by it
- Reacting impulsively
- Replaying the same story over and over
- Thinking: “This is just how I am, I’ll never change”
- Observe the emotion without judging it
- Feel it without acting immediately
- Let the body calm down naturally
- Recognise: “It’s just a passing emotion”.
