This video will focus on increasing your awareness when you encounter moments of emotional turmoil. We will identify and explore the very beginning of the emotional turmoil process, triggers/emotional buttons, the related sensations, thoughts, and feelings, and the surface structure behaviors you end up engaging in. Lastly, we will take a look at the outcome or consequences and then how to slow the process down and build skills to manage those moments before you feel like you’re drowning in emotions.
The Key Components of this Video INclude:
What are your triggers and emotional buttons that set it off?
What is it, physical and mental?
Physical: clenched jaw or fists, headaches, stomachaches, dizziness, to name a few
Mental: fear, anger, loneliness, confusion, sadness, hyped-up, narrowed view (explain), anxiety, etc.
Can you explain the sensation, thoughts and feelings as it increases intensity (mild, moderate, severe, extreme) – some feel a tingling all over their body, some feel pressure in their head and throughout their body, some think about harming self or others, some think about being trapped and unable to be saved, some feel a building sense of doom and hopelessness.
What do you end up doing behaviorally? Act outward or inward.
What’s the usual consequence- short term and long term?
What can you do to slow it down?
