Hi SilverSprings,
These days I do what I think of as "Feeling my Fear Courageously." I don't try to say anything or do anything, but I let myself fully feel the feeling, especially the physical aspects of the feeling. It's very intense and kind of unpleasant, but I also find it invigorating to realize that I can feel my own feelings fully and they will not harm me. I had no idea of this at the time, but when I was depressed, I was afraid of even having feelings.
