Lesson Overview

8.48 – Shopping When You're in Crisis or Emotionally Dysregulated: Crisis moments cloud judgment, making grocery shopping emotionally draining. Preparing a minimal checklist before leaving ensures focus. Choosing small stores or off-peak times reduces overstimulation. Focusing on necessities—hydration, protein, easy meals—protects health during instability. Breathing breaks and steady pacing regulate emotions while shopping. Paying with a set amount of cash prevents impulsive overspending. These small structures maintain dignity amid distress. Over time, learning to navigate grocery trips under stress builds resilience and self-trust. Stability starts with small acts of order, even when life feels chaotic or unpredictable.
