Sound familiar?
“One comment and suddenly you’re flooded. You say something you don’t mean, or you swallow it all.”
Afterward you wish you’d handled it differently. In the moment, the feeling was just bigger than you.
Big feelings aren’t the problem. Getting swept away by them is.
The guide gives you a simple way to pause, steady your body and name what you feel, so you can respond the way you want. It starts with a 1-minute steady-down.

Feelings check-ins
Use it when you want to understand what set you off and what you needed.
And more inside
Every tool comes with clear steps and when to use it, plus a 7-day plan to make it stick.
Why it works
Name it to tame it.
The tools come from published research and widely used practices. Every source is listed in the guide.
Of soothing touch, like a hand on the chest, lowered the body’s cortisol response to stress about as much as a hug, in a study of 159 adults.
Comprehensive Psychoneuroendocrinology, 2021
Putting feelings into words calmed activity in the amygdala, the brain’s alarm center, in a UCLA brain-imaging study.
Psychological Science, 2007
Is linked with more “rest and digest” activity in the body, and with feeling more relaxed and less anxious.
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018
Some tools are widely used practices with less research of their own. Try them and keep what works for you.
