Usually when I talk about things my body reacts to what I am talking about. Your body always remembers, even if you do not.

I just thought of something! When I was in partial in another town with did these emotional regulation sheets and were taught to be very aware of what our body was telling us...all the feelings we were feeling...the physical sensations in our body. Why were we taught to do that? Well, I think it was because it trained us to notice the moment when something was wrong. That way we are better able to catch ourselves before we get too upset or are thrown into a panic where we cannot control it. That way you can start calming yourself before it gets out of hand where you can't control what's happening to you. Like if you notice your heart beating more rapidly you can start doing deep breathing exercises before it gets too bad.

I hope this helps some.
