Personal Care

Personal Care

Emotions can be part of the healing process. It is not uncommon to experience uncomfortable emotions and feelings when watching a wisemind.com session. Feelings such as anger, anxiety, uneasiness, sadness or even temporary worsening of the issue(s) might emerge.

For your personal safety please ensure you have a reliable and safe friend close by and that you have access to an acute care mental health facility.

Carolyn Bright’s sessions on Emotional Regulation may be helpful. See: Managing Your Extreme Emotions, Crisis Survival, Understanding Distress Tolerance and Using Your Wisemind. View the complete Emotional Regulation Series here.

IF YOU ARE IN CRISIS OR FEELING OVERWHELMED,  please stop watching the wisemind.com sessions and seek help from the relevant emergency or acute care facilities in your region. The following resources may be able to provide you with immediate help.
