Highlights
- Pay attention to the triggers
- The more of your triggers you can identify and name in your environment, the easier it’ll be to spot them when they happen. You might even be able to prepare ahead of time if you know one is coming
- identify the cognitive distortions
- Don’t believe everything you think
- Just because a thought came to mind, doesn’t mean it’s the truth. Generate an alternative, more helpful story that’s equally plausible
- Practice self-compassion
