Learn to spot the specific 'emotional wounds' and triggers that lead to a spiral before they become overwhelming.
Develop a toolkit of skill-based responses to use during workplace or social interactions to stay grounded.
Focus on defining RSD and identifying personal triggers. You will begin your Primary Habit to build awareness of the emotional pain response.
