How to Soothe What You Are Feeling Now
If your emotions feel intense, here are gentle ways to support yourself in this moment.
1. Place a hand on your chest
Let your breath slow
2. Ask, “What do I need right now”
Not what you think you should need.
3. Ground your senses
Noticing your surroundings helps your system settle.
4. Offer yourself gentle statements
• I am safe in this moment
• I can take this one breath at a time
• This feeling will pass
• I do not need all the answers right now
5. Reach out if you need support
Therapy can help you soothe, understand and untangle what you are feeling.
