Thinking of all those suffering right now due to aggression from emotionally dysfunctional "leaders". "Leaders" who instead of learning to process emotions in a healthy way, act out, turning their shame into blame and violence.
I find these somatic soothing tips helpful to try to withstand this lack of safety, one moment at a time. To find some control in the unpredictability. An internal anchor to help when the external is chaos.
The body and mind also needs to feel the very valid fear. The idea is to allow all the emotions so there's movement and my system gets a sense of discharge and relief. Even if only temporary.

"It's me, hi! I'm the problem, it's me." What's familiar is preferred, even if it's harder! I'm certainly guilty of this at times.
