1/2 When I was younger and first starting seeing my therapist, I noticed she had a Barbie car in the corner. She explained that Barbie was in the front driving, and a monster high doll was in the backseat. I was Barbie and the monster high girl was my anxiety. Hanging out in the back, but not in control. And if she tries to distract me I can tell her to shush! It may sound silly but it stuck with me.

The reason cold water, sour candies, or any other physical stimulation helps is because it grounds us in our bodies and the here-and-now, slowing down/stopping the mental spiral of anxiety and rumination. Candies were even helpful for addiction cravings for my youth clients. ❤️

If you have OCD do NOT do the first one. This is a common compulsion for us. Instead what you need to do is say "Maybe [the fear]" for example "Maybe I will get super sick and spread sickness to everyone I love" instead of reassuring yourself.

Would the first one work with hurt or any other negative feelings?

literally talk to yourself outloud. you keep the negative thoughts inside they buzz like bees, say them outloud and you’ll hear how untrue they are.

This just made me bawl my eyes out. I’m ALWAYS sitting on the floor in my hard days and I never knew why I did that. It makes sense now- I’ve always just wanted a hug on those days

Kyuster (Lana's Version) :
I dont know about 4 because I think I started doing that as a child as a defence mechanism to cope with trauma but I started intellectualising my feelings and dont know how to feel them.

When I get extremely upset I sit in the dark in my closet. It always helps me calm down without any prying eyes. This all makes sense.
