Other Destressing Techniques
Journal out your thoughts and emotions
Write down affirmations and what you are grateful for and then place it into the jar (see video below)
Speak to yourself as you are speaking to afriend
See an online therapist for Cognitive behavior therapy (Catch it, check it and change it method)
Use AND statements (instead of But)
Ex. "I’m feeling overwhelmed with caregiving responsibilities, and I also deeply care about the person I’m supporting."
Using AND statements allow multiple feelings to coexist and does not diminish how you are feeling (making them valid).
