From lying on the floor to describing our physical sensations to ourselves, here are some trigger management skills that can help us.

Sometimes we feel overly activated and we may need to control our emotions and reactions at that time. "These exercises have helped me get through an active emotional moment safely. Most of them are ways to regulate a dysregulated nervous system, or a way to tap into the parasympathetic nervous system (which helps us relax). These exercises will help you feel safe in your body, so that you don’t react on impulse or in survival mode, so that you don’t get stuck in fight/flight/freeze. These exercises will help you feel more empowered in the face of intense emotions," Therapist Israa Nasir wrote. (Unsplash)
