I feel...

The funny thing is @Queenie @outlander it is part of the DBT program but I have been using it with kids at school for a long time. I remember using a shorter version of it sometime back with Outlander too - it makes you more aware of where YOU are in a situation wihtout all the emotions getting in the way (). It also helps you to breath before any course of action - just the act of consciously breathing is often enough to bring you back to the present and be able to proceed with a clearer mind.

Hey it works with the kids so why not us

yep i remember that @Zoe7 then you often get me to do th Zoe Method- oh you should teach Queenie that! of course- whatever works- the kids cant have everything 😉

Oh @outlander The Zoe Method is a bit special - only do that for you usually but our @Queenie is a bit special too so maybe.....!!!!!!!

you sure are! @Jupiter

@Queeniedoes having STOP, your stress balls and the reminders sound ok for helping with your anger?

aww @Zoe7 well i find it rather helpful!

Sounds like a plan @outlander! Thanks @Jupiter and @Zoe7! 🙂

The Zoe Method is more to use when you are thinking negatively @outlander - it doesn't work as well when someone is angry but can be used after stop and breathe.

oh yes! @Zoe7 still helps me either way not so much when im angry no, but i am gratfeul youve helped me out with that (more than once!)

@Queeniewould you like to work on some anxiety/overwhelm strategies? have you got any that work well for you atm?

Sure @outlander, at the moment my strategies aren't all that helpful really. For example with my studies, I usually procrastinate which in turn feeds my anxiety when I return to it later. It doesn't help at all. I need to be more proactive when dealing with anxiety and overwhelming feelings.
