Lesson Overview

1.203 – What to Do When You Feel Emotionally Flooded: Emotional flooding happens when intensity exceeds your brain’s ability to process information. Everything feels too loud, too close, too fast. The first step is not analysis but grounding: pause movement, lower your shoulders, and slow your breathing to half-speed. Cooling the body tells the mind to follow. Small tactile actions—pressing your palms together, touching a wall, or running water over your hands—create a sensory “exit” from overwhelm. Once stabilized, speak to yourself using neutral observations rather than dramatic statements. This shifts you from drowning in feeling to noticing feeling. Repeating a short mantra like “I can slow this down” keeps thought aligned with safety. Flooding ends faster when you remove fuel, not when you fight the wave. Each recovery teaches resilience, proving you can surf intensity without being swept away.
