Why we need to create space for processing and what I mean by processing How a lack of processing can lead to poor mental health or overwhelm. Having an autistic family member taught us how to recognise the necessity for processing. Awareness of my introvertedness - need for space after being around people helped understand need for processing. Every person has a different way of processing.  Figuring out how you work and how processing techniques would suit us best. Could include writing, painting, art, exercise, walking, nature How do we recognise when and if we need to process.   Creating space allows for processing.   Need to think about emotional health. Processing includes allowing emotions.   #GoodLifeUnravelled
