"We don't want to be in that reactive mode, because that's when things start to take over."
Feeling overwhelmed by emotions that seem to take over your day? You're not alone. In this engaging episode of The Emotional Abuse Recovery Podcast, host Allison K. Dagney shares three practical tips to help you regain control before emotional chaos sets in. Drawing from her personal journey and expertise as a Certified Rapid Reprogramming™ Coach, Allison offers simple yet powerful strategies to interrupt emotional spirals and ground yourself in the present moment.
Allison begins by highlighting the importance of awareness—recognising when you're slipping into reactive mode is the first step. She shares her own experiences with emotional spirals, illustrating how even seasoned experts face these challenges. Her candid anecdotes remind us that it's okay to feel overwhelmed sometimes. The first tip is all about pattern interruption.
Whether it's snapping a rubber band on your wrist or simply saying "stop" out loud, these small actions can bring you back to the present and out of autopilot. The second tip involves naming your emotions without judgement. By acknowledging feelings like anxiety or guilt, you activate your brain's logic centre, which helps regain control. Finally, Allison emphasises grounding techniques—engaging your senses or moving physically to anchor yourself in the now.
These methods are crucial for establishing a sense of safety and preventing emotional chaos from taking over. This episode isn't just about temporary fixes; it's about building habits that lead to long-term emotional resilience. If you're ready to break free from the cycle of emotional chaos, these tips might just be your starting point. So why not give it a listen and see how these strategies can work for you?
