● Burning in my chest
● tense
● Very compelling
● Very relateable

How can we support ourselves and others?
● I often feel that im responsible for my symptoms and
problems because my thinking and interpetations of
events can be faulty. Being self critical, having self
blame and a lack of compassion i ﬁnd is not
constructive and helpful. I can be so mean and harsh
with myself and desire to be more kind patient and
accepting of myself
● Language and thinking about how it lands on the
other persons ears
