Title: How to deal with EFs
Post by: LittleBird on November 11, 2017, 06:53:45 PM
How do you deal with these? I've been dissociating so much lately, I'm really not able to focus or remember what I'm meant to do. Lots of triggers going on for me at the moment. Sorry (this feels like a backwards step and I'm panicking a bit).

Thanks 3R (and Pete, if he ever visits this board!)

"Remind yourself that you are in an adult body with allies, skills and resources to protect you that you never had as a child"

This is particularly empowering for me.
