It is a huge undertaking, but you can do it. We do not graduate primary school in one sitting. We do not learn division in one day—we begin by learning what numbers actually are. Learning how to rest, accept situations, distract ourselves, and/or sooth ourselves is no different. Little, tiny steps and practice is required. Just keep practicing until it becomes second nature.

It is particularly good for people with anxiety disorders and certain personality disorders. Most personality disorders are a direct result of childhood trauma. If you find yourself with a diagnosis of a personality disorder and don’t fully recall any childhood trauma, remember that we incorrectly label children as “resilient.” Something as seemingly benign as your parents separating or getting divorced is in effect a childhood trauma.
