  1. Allow your vulnerability – it’s a strength…allow your tears to fall and your heart to shine – it’s the best way we can connect as humans and feel less alone
  2. Allow yourself to ‘turn up whole’ and trust that it’s all part of the process. This also means acknowledging that it’s okay to have ‘dark’ thoughts and uncomfortable emotions
  3. Breathe – It’s normal to feel that you have no stability when you are going through such a process of immense change, but it will settle down and get easier to manage
  4. Find a safe environment eg. with a therapist or in a group, to help you work through trauma when it arises to be healed. Releasing your emotions; verbally, physically and in any other way necessary is vital
  5. Focus on your self care – Getting physical exercise / being in nature / eating wholesome food and getting plenty of sleep is important. Initially, some prescribed medications may be necessary to help you manage your life
  6. Avoid stimulants (alcohol / drugs / caffeine / processed foods, especially sugar)
  7. Join a support group – this can be an online forum / it helps not to isolate yourself. Try to find at least one person you trust where you can openly talk about your experiences without fear of being judged
  8. Reduce stress wherever possible; both at home and work
  9. Reduce spiritual practices, as this can make your experience more intense
  10. Listen to calming or uplifting music, and also listening to the sounds of nature can be helpful
  11. Relationships – spend time with supportive people, and distance yourself from ones that feel stressful
  12. Creative self expression is helpful when you find talking difficult, eg. drawing, painting, poetry, music, drumming, sculpture, singing
  13. If you are already taking prescribed medication, it is not advisable to reduce or stop this without clinical guidance
