a nula stress type
the feeler
you feel it first, and you say so.
emotion-focused coping: venting, humour, reframing (Carver, 1997).
how it shows up
- one sentence from 3pm is still playing at 11pm.
- the room laughs at your joke, and you can breathe again.
- you know exactly what you feel. you have already said it out loud.
your superpower
you process fast and honestly. nothing festers.
watch for
the replay. a day you have already lived once does not need a second showing.
your reset
one piece when the lump shows up. peppermint, and something for your jaw to do other than hold on.
where you sit
