Self Soothing

As humans, we experience a whole range of nervous system states and emotions, both pleasant and, at times, difficult, painful, or overwhelming. It’s important to have the capability to support ourselves through them. 

Self-soothing is any action we take by ourselves to calm our nervous system and support ourselves through intense emotions.
