Here's a STOPP card my counsellor gave to me in case of 'emergencies'.
STOPP Take a breath Observe: What am I thinking? What am I reacting to? What am I feeling in my body? Pull back: Put in some perspective. See the bigger picture. Is this fact or opinion? How would someone else see this? Practise what works: What's the best thing to do for me, for others, for this situation?
