Text of the page (random words):
visualization tool i created for myself based on some information my therapist gave me it is about bringing love compassion and additional emotional resources to a past situation where my ability to cope was overwhelmed trauma using it repeatedly has helped me heal trauma and greatly reduce the intensity of certain trauma triggers because holding on to love and compassion while facing something overwhelming is challenging this tool can take a lot of work the more intense the trauma the more work it is because of this i use this tool when i m not triggered or am only mildly triggered if i m strongly triggered i calm myself with orienting techniques and self care strategies note i am not a healthcare professional and this is not medical advice it is simply a record of what has personally helped me and the reasoning behind it this article is part of the anxiety tools series click here for more tools that help with anxiety a photograph of two orange tabby kittens cuddling and snoozing together one on top of the other overview connect and send love validate past emotions name the situation and validate describe the past self positively we are a team hug and send more love step 1 connect and send love what i do i start by visualizing myself within a past traumatic situation next i imagine my present self as a separate person lovingly placing my hands on the back of my past self i take a moment to focus on the imagined touch and sending that past self love support and compassion why it might help research has shown that there are psychological benefits to talking to yourself in third person as if you are two separate people it creates a bit of mental distance from intense experiences and helps us to think more clearly these aren t studies of trauma or visualization but i suspect that viewing my past self as a separate person does give me enough distance from the trauma that it is easier to manage i think that this mental distance makes it easier for me to feel things like self love and compassion while facing the trauma continue reading tags anxiety anxiety tools healing healing trauma self care trauma visualization posted in articles tools
