Finding Calm Amid Chaos: TONIC for emotional first aid (S15E5)
Tap to send me your reflections ♡ Imagine having a gentle yet powerful tool in your back pocket that you can use whenever you need some First Aid. A tool that"s there for you, whatever situation you find yourself in - helping to manage feelings of overwhelm, overstimulation and dysregulation, as you navigate life"s unpredictable changes. This self-guided emotional "first aid" technique is built around the mnemonic TONIC. In the episode we"ll explore how these 5 stages: Time out, Options, Name, Intention, Compassion help us to recognise and nurture what we"re feeling in the moment - and identify a way forward. Join us as we explore the power of setting positive intentions and nurturing self-compassion. By focusing on simple affirmations like "I am safe" or "I am here," we connect mind and body to soothe the nervous system and encourage self-kindness, just as we would show to a loved one. Through physical gestures and written reflections, discover ways to cultivate a sense of warmth and care towards yourself. As we embrace this new fortnightly rhythm to our podcast, I am so grateful for your support. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to connect and share your reflections.
