"After conflicts or stress, we feel unsatisfactory not only emotionally, but also physically. Because the body also reacts to shocks - unpleasant sensations can appear in any part of it," Yefimtsova said. She advised writing down and learning assistive techniques.
Technique #1
To perform this technique, you will need a pen or pencil and paper.
You need to sit down, find a comfortable position. Relax and concentrate on your unpleasant feeling.
You need to ask yourself the following questions:
In which part of the body is there an unpleasant sensation?
What does it look like?
What does it look like?
What size?
Does it have a shape?
What color?
Maybe it smells like something?
It is necessary to imagine that this feeling is outside the body, it is right in front of you. You need to look it up. Figure out the first phrase that comes to mind under these circumstances, and write it down on paper.
You need to say this phrase out loud one or more times - and you will feel better. The paper on which the phrase is written can be torn and thrown away.
Technique #2
The beginning is the same as in the previous exercise. You need to sit down in a comfortable position, relax, and concentrate on your unpleasant feeling. Ask yourself the same questions as in the first technique.
You need to imagine that this unpleasant sensation or pain is not in your body, but in your palm. Clench your palm tightly into a fist for a few seconds, as if you are trying to crush what is on it. Begin to open your fist very slowly. Gradually and very slowly open your palm. When you begin to relax your fingers, start with the little finger, then slowly straighten the ring, middle, index and thumb fingers. The time to open the palm is from two to three minutes.
"You will relax along with the palm of your hand. Try it!" - added the psychologist.
