🦋 A Simple Tool for Self-Soothing 🦋

The Butterfly Hug is a gentle technique often used to reduce stress, promote grounding, and support emotional regulation. It’s widely used in trauma recovery, and it’s something you can do anytime, anywhere.

✨ How to do it:

• Cross your arms over your chest, like butterfly wings.
• Gently tap your shoulders—left, right, left, right—at your own pace.
• Breathe deeply and slowly as you focus on the rhythm.

A special thank-you to Lisa Glendinning from Art of EMDR Therapy for introducing this powerful technique in our recent Tapping In session.
