What is Spinning?

When thoughts and or emotions start swirling around in our head and body.

You can have positive spins

• Trigger – Roller Coaster

• Feeling - Excitement

• Thought - Remembering Fun trips there

• Trigger - Memories of Park

We focus on negative spins, because those are what can cause problems

• Trigger - Roller Coaster

• Feeling – Sick, nervous

• Thoughts – Remembering throwing up on friend

• Trigger – Memories of being embarrassed

Another one, that is more common than seeing a roller coaster – dirty dishes in the sink!

• Trigger - Dirty Dishes

• Feeling - Frustration

• Thoughts – Memories, all the times he didn’t do the dishes

• Trigger

There is so much power in recognizing when you are spinning. There is also power when you teach someone you trust and love about spinning, because when appropriate you can point it out to each other and help each other stop spinning.

Learn more about spinning and what spinning wars are and a tool to stop them in todays episode.
