Feeling something is not the same as being it.

An emotion can be present.

You can notice what is here and name it in your own words.

The emotion is not your identity.

It does not become a judgment about who you are or what kind of person you must be.

A broad label or polished explanation can leave the present experience full underneath.

The order

State first, story later.

Movement 1 of 3

04 / 17

Notice without identity.

1

What was happening

Choose one recent experience that feels safe enough to work with now.

2

What I noticed in my body

Use sensory words without interpreting what the sensation means.

3

The truest emotion I could name

If the first label is broad, ask what sits underneath or alongside it.

Begin with the body before choosing the emotion label.

Movement 2 of 3

Meet the part and allow safe expression.

The part that seemed present

The name comes from you and does not become a fixed identity.

What this part may have been trying to do

Keep the purpose as a possibility rather than a fixed conclusion.

What this part has given me

Notice how it may have helped without calling the part good or bad.

What it costs when it drives too long

Look at what happens when the part stays in charge beyond the moment.

Pick one

The recap

10 / 17

Four things to remember when you return to the plan.

Emotion is not your identity

You can notice a feeling without making it a statement about who you are.

Let your own words come first

No one else decides what your sensation, emotion, or part means.

Make room before choosing an action

Do not demand a lesson, need, or strategy while the present state is still full.

Support is part of the plan

Stopping and speaking with a trusted human can be the wisest response available.

Pause and reflect before moving on

13 / 17

Finish the same plan by tomorrow

Start and complete one Emotional Processing and Response Plan for a recent emotional experience that feels safe to work with, by the same time tomorrow.

Write one commitment in your own words

Finish this sentence in your own words: if I encounter a strong or flattened emotion, then I will open my Emotional Processing and Response Plan and start with what I notice in my body, by the same time tomorrow.

Name what you will actually use tomorrow
