Coping strategies that may help
Deep Breathing
Focus on your breath by inhaling deeply through your nose and exhaling slowly through your mouth. This can help calm your body's response.
Grounding Techniques
Engage your senses by identifying 5 things you can see, 4 you can touch, 3 you can hear, 2 you can smell, and 1 you can taste.
Mindfulness Meditation
Take a few moments to sit quietly and focus on the present moment, allowing thoughts to come and go without judgment.
Progressive Muscle Relaxation
Tense and then relax each muscle group one at a time, starting from your toes and working your way up to your head.
