Personal Checkin

Hi there ! I recently made a post asking about ways to cope with adult separation anxiety. After speaking with my therapist we came up with a great strategy I thought I should share. I know most people have heard of this but I never really thought about it. It's called a calming box. Inside the box you include things from the categories touch, smell, taste and play. For example, slime, stickers, candy, candles, plushes etc. when you are anxious or panicking you can pull the box out and go through the stuff and distract yourself from becoming overwhelmed.
I hope this can be useful to anyone going through what I am. Thanks
