I've worked with a therapist myself, and my son has semi-continuously
over the past 8 years. We both singled out the
occupational/physiological side of therapy as a great help.

You can't always understand what you're feeling. If you can identify the
physical sensations you have that accompany that feeling, you can use that
as a trigger to help you take action to manage your feelings.

Everybody reading this, stop what you're doing and take 3 deep breaths.
Take a 6 count in, hold it for 4, exhale for 4.
