self regulation and self soothing have been BIG priorities for me because im currently on a therapy break. Its been about 5 months off (minus one maintenance appointment)
Anywho, something my therapist would always ask me when discussing my feelings is, βHow does this feel? What does it look like? Can you describe it?β
Iβd usually respond quickly and move on.
I decided to try using this question as a way to create the world in my head irl. Lately iβve been dealing with a lot of paranoia. So I (not an artist at all) drew what FEAR looks like to me. Then I made a pros and cons list about FEAR.
I was shocked at how helpful this method was for me. It helped me realize that so much intensity behind my feelings comes from misunderstanding my feelings intentions. Anywho, this is a shit drawing but it helped me so much. ((pls donβt steal my drawing lmfao))
