The single best thing I learned from a Women’s Trauma Therapy Group is you aren't freaking out, melting down, losing your shit, or going crazy - you are dysregulated.

Your body and nervous system are overwhelmed and not working properly. Sometimes dysregualtion comes by surprise, surprise! But hard work, planning, thoughtfulness, building an invisible tool belt of coping and centering skills, saying no thanks often can reduce how often and how bad one dysregulates.
