You know the feeling—that moment when everything feels just a little too much and suddenly you're spiraling into a full-on emotional crash? Yeah, we’ve all been there. But what if you could catch yourself before the meltdown, shift your perspective, and handle stress like the emotionally intelligent queen (or king 👑) you are? In this episode of Get Psyched, we’re diving deep into emotional regulation, somatic strategies, and how to boost your distress tolerance so you can stay grounded—even when life feels like a mess. Whether you're tired of reacting on impulse, want to stop doom-scrolling mid-breakdown, or just need some feel-good brain tools, we've got you.

Today we're exploring:

🎙 What "crashing out" actually means (and how to stop doing it)

🎙 Somatic + emotional regulation tips that actually work

🎙 How to shift your perspective when your brain is being a drama queen

🎙 "Cope ahead" skills to help you prep for chaos before it hits

🎙 How to start responding instead of reacting

🎙 Impulsivity: hot in theory, not so much in practice

🎙 Why building distress tolerance is supreme

If you’ve ever lost it while planning for the worst case scenario, this one's for you. Real talk, real tools, and the gentle reminder that you can absolutely do hard things—and look good doing them. Hit subscribe, drop us a review, and share this with your fave meltdown-prone bestie. Let’s spiral less and slay more, shall we?
