Toolbox Series 2: Butterfly Hug with Debbie Augenthaler

The second in The Toolbox Series: The Butterfly Hug is an effective technique to use when you're feeling anxious or overwhelmed. This method was created by EMDR therapists who worked with children in the aftermath a natural disaster in Mexico City in 1998. It’s calming and grounding and can be done anywhere, anytime you’re feeling anxious or stressed. This technique is effective for many people but is not for everyone. If you feel it’s not right for you, please stop and take some deep breaths. You can always view my first video which offers another technique that may resonate with you. We’re all unique and what works for one person may not work for another. These are tools designed to help alleviate anxiety and calm you in the moment, but are not a replacement for therapy. If you are experiencing anxiety or panic attacks on a regular basis, I highly recommend finding a therapist who can help you. The entire Toolbox video series can be found here on my Youtube channel. Please enjoy, use, and share with others. If you have any comments I'd love to hear from you.
