This is something T can help you with. T and I can usually find something that will help me slow down. Sometimes it's physically writing things down and leaving them in his office to deal with later. Sometimes it's letting my younger parts know that they can REST for a while...that we want to hear them, and we will, but we need to do it later. Sometimes it's coming up with ways for me to stay present in my life NOW...things I find soothing, or things that keep me busy or whatever.

I think an important piece of it for me is the promise to my self that I WILL get back to the work later. I'm not pushing it away forever...I'm just saying "this is important, and I am going to deal with it when I can cope with it a little better". That's okay. And I always DO get back to it. We move in and out of it, over and over again, for as long as it takes.
