Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- By the time I notice the tension in my chest or my clenched jaw, I’m already in full meltdown
- When I try to scan my body I race through it in a couple of minutes, skimming past whole parts and skipping the spots that feel uncomfortable
- I calm down for a minute with my eyes closed, but the second I open them and step back into the room I snap right back into the same tight, tunnel-visioned reactivity
- In hard conversations I fire back from the gut and instantly wish I’d said it differently
- I run on autopilot all day and the stress just quietly stacks up unnoticed until I’m suddenly snapping or fried
