Episode notes
Name Safety Behaviors To Reduce Avoidance
- Safety behaviors soothe short-term anxiety but reinforce avoidance long-term.
- Naming them gives legitimacy and enables choice rather than shame-driven repetition.
Expand Comfort With A Stretch Map
- Map three circles: safe, stretch, and danger, then place tasks inside them.
- Regularly try stretch-zone tasks and redraw the circles to track growth.
Listen To Your Body Signals
- Interoception is noticing bodily signals that accompany emotion and using them as early alerts.
- Better interoception gives grounding and improved emotional regulation.
