WHAT TO DO WHEN ACTIVATED
A. De-Escalate the Reaction
De-escalating the intensity of my reaction first
helps me regain some access to my cortex,
making it easier to look for and neutralize the past trauma.
B. Neutralize the Anchor
Once trauma is re-activated, in order to be able to clearly see what is true in the present
without the filter of the past, I need to figure out what the past trauma (anchor) is
and resolve it (neutralize the emotional charge attached to it).
