Create a safe mental space for moments of overwhelm.
Close your eyes and imagine a perfectly safe place.
It can be real or imaginary - a room, a beach, a forest.
Add details: what do you see, hear, feel, smell?
Imagine you have a magic box here.
In this box you can put any painful thought or memory.
Put the lid on and leave the box in your safe place.
Know that you can return anytime, but now you are protected.
Return to the present, carrying the feeling of safety with you.
