BRAIN STRESS & PRICKLE HABITS

























                      As I explained when you visited, I sometimes use a different name for




















                      stress responses – I call them ‘Prickle Habits’! Even adults get a bit prickly




















                      sometimes – I bet you have seen that!


























                      Some people can find it harder than others to ‘catch the prickle’ and use




















                      words to let someone know what isn’t ok for them.

























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

Do you mask or bury?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                scared!





































































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












                   and doing better.



























                   What are your prickle habits? Would you like them to stay the same or to












                   be different?
