Recording and Understanding Reactivity

A key strategy for managing reactivity involves recording personal experiences to gain a clearer understanding of them. This can be achieved through writing, audio recordings, or visual representations, ensuring that self-compassion guides the process to prevent amplifying negative feelings. During this recording, individuals should categorize their experiences, noting their posture, emotions, thoughts, and the energy they felt during moments of reactivity. Identifying and tracking associated habits and the underlying needs perceived as threatened during these reactions can significantly enhance self-awareness and trigger effective interventions over time.
