Steps to learn self-soothing
- Make a list of possible activities that you think might be soothing for you. You will have this initial group of possible strategies ready to try when you need them.
- Watch for strong feelings of anger, hurt, sadness, or any other feeling that is too sharp or painful to manage. These are your chances to try out your list.
- Try different strategies at different times, since different strategies may work in different situations and with different feelings. Try one strategy and if it doesn’t work, try another.
- If one of your strategies isn't good, mark it off. Add new ones as they occur to you.
