一起以善意和信心為受傷舞者祈禱🙏🏽 如果感覺到自己出現PTSD症狀,可以嘗試同自己做’Butterfly Hug’🦋 If you struggle with PTSD, you have probably experienced “being triggered”. This involves having an unexpected negative reaction to some type of familiar stimuli that brings back an emotion, agitation, memory or flashback of a past traumatic event. An example of a being triggered would be experiencing fear when you see a blue jacket, if you were mugged by someone in a blue jacket. Logically you may realize that you aren’t in danger, but your body is reacting automatically because of that traumatic event. How to do the Butterfly Hug: First you want to find a comfortable, quiet location and sit up tall with your back straight. Close or lower your eyes and start with some deep, purposeful breathing. Try breathing from your diaphragm if possible. Notice any emotions or distress that may come up and just continue to breathe through it. Cross your hands and place them on your chest so each middle finger rests right below the opposite collarbone. Fan your fingers, resting them on your chest and your thumbs will pointed towards your chin. You can interlock your thumbs so it looks like a butterfly’s body and the hands are its wings. Now, you are going to alternate tapping your hands on your chest, slowly and rhythmically (left, right, left, right, etc.) for at least 8 rounds. Don’t forget your deep breathing while you’re fluttering your butterfly wings. Stop and check your level of distress. If your distress has not increased try a couple more sets of 8. Stop after each set to check your level of distress, continuing if you are starting to feel less distress or more relaxed. 資料來源: https://www.counselingconnectionsnm.com/blog/try-the-butterfly-hug-to-help-with-ptsd-symptoms
