"Even brief moments of self-regulation can interrupt reactive patterns and activate the more thoughtful, compassionate parts of our brain."
"A 15-year-old client of mine practiced a pause before reacting, which helped him respond instead of erupting."
The article discusses the importance of managing anxiety in interpersonal relationships and introduces the concept of the '30-Second Reset.' This strategy involves taking a short pause to help calm the nervous system and create space for thoughtful responses rather than reactive ones. A brief moment can lead to improved interactions and understanding, as illustrated by the example of a teenager who transformed his communication with his parents through this practice. The author emphasizes that this technique is beneficial for individuals of all ages.
