Naming a feeling makes it smaller
Research on labeling emotions shows that putting a feeling into specific words reduces its intensity. For people with alexithymia (common in autism) or who run on a flooded ADHD nervous system, the words are slow to arrive. A structured check-in helps.
A simple check-in template
- 1Body scan: where do I feel something physical right now?
- 2Intensity: 1 to 10
- 3Trigger: what happened in the last hour?
- 4Need: what would help in the next 20 minutes?
- 5Action: one small thing I can do
Why one question at a time
A wall of 5 questions overwhelms a flooded brain. One question at a time is the difference between a check-in that works and a check-in that adds to the flood.
Key terms in this lesson
Key takeaway: structure helps a flooded brain find words. AI gives structure on demand.
