Fresh off her family therapy retreat, Amy reflects on the importance of quick, effective ways to create moments of refuge throughout the day. She goes over 4 simple ways to help reset and reconnect. First thing is a concept from therapist Katie Gustafson: hosting emotions like guests at a dinner party! Second thing is dopamine dressing: how intentional outfit choices can boost mood and confidence. Third thing is unusual signs of emotional stress: like yawning, itching, and fidgeting, and how they may indicate the body is holding onto emotions. For the fourth thing she revisits the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding method: a sensory-based technique for regaining focus and presence in overwhelming moments.
