Hosted by therapist Amy Morin, LCSW, this episode of The Verywell Mind Podcast shares a technique that can help you when you're experiencing an emotional crisis. Click below to listen now.
When dealing with the aftermath of a crisis, it’s important to focus your resources. Just getting through the day is an accomplishment, so paring down your responsibilities in order to just do that should be key.
An example of something you can do to conserve your resources is to order take-out instead of preparing meals. By doing this, you can cut down on shopping and cooking, put unnecessary commitments on hold, and just focus on what really needs to be done to conserve your physical and emotional energy.
If others know about your trauma, chances are they will be offering to help; now is the time to take them up on it. Let your loved ones lighten your load by helping with tasks or providing a supportive ear. You can repay the favor later when you’re up to it, and they need something.
You can feel better from receiving support, and others will probably feel better by being able to do something to help. That’s what friends do best.
When you experience a crisis (or even when someone close to you experiences a crisis), your body's stress response may become triggered and stay triggered. The result is that you are kept in a state of constant stress.
It may be difficult to feel "relaxed" in the midst or aftermath of a crisis, but you can practice stress relief techniques that can reduce the intensity of your stress levels, help you reverse your stress response, and feel more resilient in the face of what comes next.
Whether you write in your journal, talk to a good friend, or consult a therapist, it’s important to put words to your experience in order to better integrate it.
As you move through the crisis, you may be tempted to ignore your feelings for fear that you’ll 'wallow' too much and get ‘stuck’, but processing your feelings allows you to move through them and let them go.
In order to avoid adding to your problems, be sure to eat a healthy diet, get enough sleep, exercise regularly, and do other things to keep your body functioning at its best.
Also, try to do some things you normally enjoy, like seeing a movie, reading a good book, or gardening, to relieve some of the stress you’re going through.
Comforting yourself when you are feeling stressed or overwhelmed is also important. Strategies like going for a short walk, writing in a gratitude journal, meditating, or relaxing with a weighted blanket can foster positive feelings that may help boost resilience and mental strength.

Painful and difficult emotions can be scary, but learning how to accept and tolerate these feelings can be helpful. Instead of rejecting, denying, or trying to suppress such feelings, emotional acceptance stresses the importance of allowing them to exist and recognizing that they cannot harm you.
Rather than rejecting your feelings or feeling overwhelmed by them, acceptance allows you to focus on dealing with your feelings in healthy or productive ways.
When you feel overwhelmed by distressing feelings or thoughts, grounding yourself in the present moment can help reduce feelings of anxiety and fear.
Grounding is a strategy that helps distract you from intrusive memories, difficult emotions, and flashbacks.
Physical grounding techniques that you might find helpful include:
•Touching or picking up an object near you and focusing on the texture, color, shape, and feel of it
•Taking slow, deep, controlled breaths and focusing your attention on your breathing
•Taking a bite of food or sip of a beverage and concentrating on the taste, texture, and feel of the food or drink
The arts and creative expression can also be a way to cope with trauma. This approach suggests that artistic methods can help promote healing and foster greater mental well-being.
Research has found that art therapy can be helpful in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Another study found that art therapy was associated with significant reductions in symptoms of trauma and depression in adults who had experienced a traumatic event.
Creative expression is something that you might opt to try on your own. Some strategies you might try include coloring, drawing, finger painting, sculpting, painting, or photography.
Or you might choose to seek help from a mental health professional who is experienced in this approach to therapy.
Deep breathing can be a highly effective tool for coping with feelings of anxiety and stress. Also known as diaphragmatic breathing, this approach involves taking deep breaths from the diaphragm rather than shallow breaths from the chest.
During times of stress, people often tend to take rapid, shallow breaths that increase the body's anxiety response. Taking slower and deeper breaths helps calm the body and induce a state of relaxation.
You can do this by taking a deep breath that causes your stomach to rise. Hold the breath for three counts, then slowly exhale. Focus on repeating this breathing pattern for several minutes until you feel yourself begin to calm.
