Here’s what has been helpful for me during those specific moments. This whole thing can take a few hours or a few minutes. You get better at going deeper and faster with practice. Note: speed is not the goal, but sometimes we need a quick turnaround type of process given our schedule.

1.  What just happened?

2. Take several deep breaths.

3. How does this make me feel?

4. Where in my body do I feel it?

5. Breathe into that part of the body.

6. Why do I care? How does it push up against my values?

7. Take several deep breaths.

And then some combination of:

• Who do I want to be right now?

• Who will this NOT make me?

• What do I need right now?

• How can I get that need met?

Try it. Cycling through this with small, medium, and bigger issues helps build a healing cycle that becomes more intuitive after a while.
