No diagnosis checking is allowed, If someone says they have it, they have it. It's not your job to dig through someone's medical history. It's invalidating.
-
None of the very basic isms and phobias. Includes but not limited to racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, transphobia.

Stop and pay attention to what your body is feeling when you have these sensations. Notice the feeling, acknowledge it, verbalize it, accept it. Let your body feel and process it instead of fighting or distracting yourself. Let it happen until your body experiences it and it subsides. This is about retraining your central nervous system system.
There are a ton of methods and theories that fall under a heading of somatic healing…dealing with your body as it holds these things.
