Naming emotions activates the prefrontal cortex, reducing their cognitive intensity.
Inspired by Dr. Gloria Willcox's Feeling Wheel framework used in emotional regulation therapy.
Pause and take a deep breath
Breathe in slowly through your nose, expanding your belly. Breathe out slowly through your mouth, letting your shoulders drop. Repeat at your own pace.
