In this episode, we discuss strategies for handling emotional triggers without reacting impulsively. Key techniques include validating your emotions, utilizing body movement and breath work, co-regulating with a calm individual, and later reflecting on your triggers. A highlight is the STOP skill, which involves stopping, taking a step back, observing the situation, and proceeding mindfully to align your actions with your values. The episode emphasizes that while feeling intense emotions is normal, managing your response is essential.
