BRAIN STRESS & PRICKLE HABITS






















                      As I explained, when stress chemicals are released, it takes good flexible



















                      thinking, emotional regulation and impulse control to manage well.
























                      If someone has not yet strengthened those skills quite yet, they can end up



















                      with ‘Prickle Habits’.
























                      You noticed that you can often want to push the unpleasant feeling away




















                      or hide from it – you explained  that you sometimes do this at school and




















                      hide under the stairs.





















                                             Do you hide and freeze?                                                                                                                                                                                                Do you avoid?                                                                                                                                                                          Do you run?



























































































                                             Do you throw?                                                                                                                                                                                                          Do you mask or bury?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               scared!






































































                   We talked about noticing our ‘Prickle Habits’ – this is the first step to feeling












                   and doing better.
