Things to Consider
Maintaining multiple blocks and working with setbacks
The aim is not positive thinking. The aim is awareness and balance.
"Setbacks aren't failures. They're information about what your structure needs."
WAYS TO BUILD AWARENESS
• Notice recurring thoughts
• Name emotions without judgement
• Pause before reacting
• Question unhelpful narratives
Simple questions help:
• Is this thought helpful?
• Is it definitely true?
• What would I say to someone else?
IF EMOTIONS FEEL OVERWHELMING
If emotions feel intense:
• Return to regulation strategies
• Focus on the body first
• Reduce pressure to "understand"
Awareness grows gradually.
