Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I want to carry the watching-without-reacting into my actual day, but in the moment I’m too caught up to do it
• I keep reacting the same way and only see it after the fact, when the day’s already over and the moment’s gone
• By the time night comes my whole day has blurred into one undifferentiated "fine" or "rough," and I couldn’t actually tell you what happened in it
• My days just blur past and I never stop to look at them, so the same reactions I’d want to change keep happening on repeat
• I keep going over what happened wanting to actually understand it, but every replay just drops me back into reliving the hurt blow by blow instead of figuring out why it went the way it did
