6 Steps for Managing Overwhelm

This is the fourth and final episode of the Overwhelm series. In this episode, I walk you through a shortened version of the steps I use in the CALM Reclamation Method™ for clients dealing with overwhelm.

The 1st step is awareness and recognition. Develop an early awareness of that trigger.

Step 2 accept and understand that this is how you reacted at an earlier time in your life and don’t attach judgment to it. It’s something you learned.

Step 3 is pattern interruption. Every behavior has a pattern. But what purpose did that old reaction give you?

Step 4 is an exploration experience where time stands still while your unconscious explores alternate responses to that old trigger.

Step 5 is where you choose a new response that best represents the person you want to be.

And finally, step 6, reclamation. You feel connected to your new empowered reaction to that old trigger and you take it with you into future interactions. You feel powerful, authentic, and free from external validation.
