🧠 Safe Space in Your Mind?! ⬇️

Описание: 🧠 Feeling overwhelmed? Here's a 1 minute science-backed technique that Therapists Use

⬇️

Step 1: Place hands on shoulders, tap left-right-left-right ✨ This bilateral stimulation regulates your nervous system

Step 2: Close eyes, imagine your safe place (beach, forest, childhood room) 🌲 Nature scenes might be ideal because they are associated with improved mental health outcomes

Step 3: Engage ALL your senses: 👁️ What do you see? 👃 What do you smell? 👂 What sounds surround you? 🤚 How does your skin feel? Hold that feeling for 60 seconds. Open your eyes.

To build this habit: Cue → Repetition → Self-monitoring → Problem solving
