The following steps provide a format for you to analyze and master your intrusive symptoms:
Stop and become aware: Acknowledge what's happening. Say to yourself, "I'm having an automatic reaction." Assume you have hit a trigger.
Calm yourself: Tune into your body. What are you feeling? Tell yourself something reassuring. "I'm safe, no one can hurt me." Take slow, deep breaths. Relax your muscles. Go to your "safe place".
Identify past situation: When have you felt this way before? What situation were you in the last time you felt this way? Try to identify the trigger.
Identify similarities: In what ways are this current situation and your past situation similar?
Doesn't always work so good.
