Self-soothing

Today, you explained that when you cry and scream, it is like a release.

We talked about how feelings – both pleasant and unpleasant - are all

part of being human.

When people have difficult experiences, sad feelings are understandable.

It is important to find ways to release our feelings that are ok for others

around us. Self-soothing is an important skill we need in college and work.

You also said you would like to feel better more quickly. I explained that

this is called ‘self-soothing’.

I explained that we can get better and faster at self-soothing, if we want

to. It takes lots of practice.
