There are many techniques survivors will attempt when learning how to self soothe through rough moments. What may work for one will not always work for the others. It is key to understand your triggers and trust yourself to get out of that negative space. Below are a few of the things I can do to get to my “happy place:”
-washing my hands in cool water
-talking to a friend
-watching a movie/listening to music for distraction
-calling therapist
-blogging/journalling
-ask my husband for a hug
-talk to a survivor who can relate
What are some of the things you feel keep you sane?
Thanks
