A Simple Practice - Labelling Objects

When you're feeling numb & overwhelmed, it can feel as if your world has narrowed, feeling tight and focused. This is a classic sign of the protective, unhealthy parasympathetic state and is normal even if it doesn’t feel comfortable. This technique helps by encouraging you to use your peripheral vision to label objects in your environment, signalling to your nervous system that it's safe to relax its hyper-vigilance.
