“If you encounter a trigger, breathe and move through your five senses. Observe and describe what you see, hear, smell, taste, and feel. You can also use the acronym STOP—Stop, Take a breath, Observe what’s going on around you, and Proceed (i.e., move forward with what you were doing before the trigger caught your attention).”
