The Soulmate IQ Test
You often lose control emotionally, feel powerless to stop the negative feelings, then become frustrated and ashamed.
I've seen patients turn to food, drugs, even cutting, in an attempt to short-circuit emotions.
The key is learning to slow down when you are feeling overwhelmed.
Find a quiet place where you can do some deep breathing.
If you are too upset to focus on your breath, try describing your surroundings in detail:
Notice the shapes, lines, colors, and shadows in a painting, or the view out the window—anything to pull your attention to external things.
After about ten minutes, the intensity of the emotion should subside and you can approach whatever triggered it with a clearer mind.
