Prism Integrated Health

Often, as a therapist, we notice themes that pop up with clients over the course of the week. This week’s theme is using physical activity the deescalate overwhelming emotions and to grow and improve our distress tolerance.

We figured out that lots of folks have different, specific movements or activities they use to respond to different feelings.

Here are mine:
🤬 Rage, anger, needing to feel strong or grounded - lift heavy weights(specifically back squat, bench press, and deadlift)
😢 Grief, sadness, or anxiety - run or fast walk WITHOUT MUSIC. Let your brain wander and process.
😔 Depression - dance and sing badly; try your best to be embarrassing

What do you do?????
