This resource focuses on helping individuals identify their feelings and emotional triggers. It guides users through recognizing their current emotions by providing a word bank of feelings such as happy, sad, angry, worried, and excited. It also explains what triggers are—events or situations that elicit strong emotions—and lists common triggers, allowing individuals to articulate their experiences. The resource encourages participants to engage in a calming process, including steps to 'Stop, Think, Choose' when faced with challenges. Additionally, it introduces a 'Calm-Down Toolbox' where users can select grounding techniques, such as deep breathing or counting to ten, to manage their emotions effectively.
