Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- In hard conversations I fire back from the gut and instantly wish I’d said it differently
- It’s not one crisis moment
- 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
- I only ever reach for the calming stuff once I’m already in a state, and by then it feels clumsy and barely works
- I set up a budget months ago and then never looked at it again, and now my income and bills have shifted so it’s totally out of date
