Right now, take a breath

What's happening right now?

Pick what's going on and you'll get a few gentle next steps. No pressure. There's room to just sit with it a moment.

Screaming, collapsing, won't stop.

Too loud, too bright, hands over ears.

Won't touch the food, only one thing.

Up all night, can't settle down.

Distant, no eye contact, feels shut off.

You're tired, irritated, losing patience.

Go deeper when you're ready
