It is so helpful to simply recognize when you are flooded with emotion (anxiety, shame, etc.) and then, even though it’s super hard, choose not to respond or react until that initial physical sensation has passed. Don’t answer that text, send that email, make that decision, or make any sudden “moves,” until that wave has passed. Brene Brown suggests maybe even saying to yourself or out loud, “I’m in a shame space, I’m in a shame space” until you’re able to respond instead of react. Or possibly, you may not even have to respond in an external way at all.
