Excellent advice, [@hmm_cook](https://universeodon.com/@hmm_cook ) . In a follow-up with my old therapist, I mentioned to her how I've been able to prevent meltdowns (really nervous systems overloads, as you so eloquently put it), by putting on headphones, retreating to a quiet place, hugging a plush pal, kitty snuggles, etc., etc. When I do have bad reactions, I give myself the space and compassion to forgive myself, and try to figure out what triggered me, and how I should perhaps go about avoiding it (if possible).
