This containment exercise is a guided imagery technique that teaches you how to regulate your emotions

The purpose of this technique is to help you regain control of your emotions by utilizing the brain's natural ability to hold and "contain" material. This gives you the freedom to choose when and where these emotions will be processed.

This practice can aid in the process of working through intense trauma where symptoms of flashbacks, intense emotions, and sensations may arise. It is helpful during, after, or between sessions. 

Disclaimer: this is not meant to treat, diagnose, cure, or replace therapy; seek professional help.

The skill of self-soothing allows you to manage or work on overwhelming emotions throughout your day.
