Calm Place Exercise

Our imagination is a phenomenal tool! Create a place within yourself where you can start to challenge the experience of feeling anxious, tense, etc. and shift towards feeling more calm, relaxed or at ease - a place where you can feel more connected to yourself and your body, and hopefully less in your head, or less trapped by your nervous system responding to the world around you.

If you are experiencing ongoing or distressing anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation or are in any other form of distress, please seek the support of a Registered Clinical Counsellor or Psychologist.
