When faced with an Emotional Storm:  A reaction is to freeze.  If no action is taken, you will get sucked up in the storm.  Brace yourself.  Do this by changing positions.  If you are sitting, stand up; if standing sit down.  Practice breathing deep breaths for 10 minutes.  Take a walk and empty your mind.  Pray.  Go to a safe place in your mind.  (S.T.E.P.P.S for BPD)  STEppsforbpd.com/
