BRAIN STRESS & PRICKLE HABITS
As I explained when you visited, we have a different name for stress
responses – we call them ‘Prickle Habits’! Even adults get a bit prickly
sometimes – I bet you have seen that!
You explained that you can sometimes feel overwhelmed and find it hard to
‘catch the prickle’ and let someone know how to help.
Do you hide and freeze? Do you avoid? Do you run?
Do you throw? Do you mask or bury?
I’m I’m
scared!
We talked about noticing our ‘Prickle Habits’ – this is the first step to feeling
and doing better.
You recognised your prickle habits as running or masking. Just knowing
that is a great first step! The next step is to practise ‘catching the prickle’!
There is more information about this on the practice pages.
