#r.e.s.t

[livebpd]

Last night we started reading the DBT workbook as a polycule. The section we read was how to R.E.S.T.

R. Rest, pause, breathe, take a break, move away from the conversation

E. Evaluate, what is happening, what am I feeling, how might the other person be feeling

S. Set intentions, decide what would be your best course of action

T. Take action, follow through with your plan

Repeat until the issue or excessive emotional response is quelled. You might have missed critical information.

I've had a few chances to practice the rest step of R.E.S.T. My loved ones notice when I'm getting elevated and ask, "do you need to rest?” usually I'll pause and think for a moment then continue more carefully.

So anyways, sensory deprivation is fucking surreal.
