Sharing the experience can shift momentum to the center
When we are deeply emotional, the experience of being alone or misunderstood is painful. Our emotions have swung to an intensity that may feel out of control.
                                     
At Stabilize, we invite Friends to experience what happened and what they feel at a pace of their own choosing. As they put their story into words and then feel understood, their swing to the negative extreme slowly moves back to the center. The swing slows because they share the load with someone who cares.

When we help Friends, we convey the message, “Let me know what happened and what it means to you. I am strong and I care.”
