We spend so much time on our flaws that we miss what already works in us. Your strengths are not bragging. They are tools. Persistence, patience, humor, faith, problem-solving, showing up when it is uncomfortable. If you run or race, you already practice a lot of this.

Beach Ball Metaphor for Coping with Emotional Dysregulation (Article from my counseling website) I first heard of the beach ball metaphor while watching a video through PESI (one of my continuing education providers). Arielle Schwartz, Ph D uses the beach ball metaphor to explain how we can manage our dysregulated emotions. Arielle Schwartz, PhD provides a mind-body healing exercise that can help trauma survivors process their negative emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them. I hope that you find this metaphor helpful in understanding how we can better regulate our emotions and nourish our nervous systems. Go to the article to learn about how you can use the beach ball metaphor (many of my clients have found it helpful) and read related articles on emotion regulation, nervous system regulation and habits. finishstrongercounseling.com…
