The Container
Length: ~5 minutes
Focus: Enhancing emotional containment and nervous system regulation
Description: This guided practice helps you strengthen your existing container — the internal or imagined space where you can safely hold thoughts, feelings, or images until the right time to process them. Through mindful awareness and gentle visualization, you’ll deepen your sense of control and safety when emotions feel intense or overwhelming. This is an ideal practice to use between therapy sessions or after emotionally activating experiences to restore calm and clarity.
Disclaimer: Continue this practice only if it feels calming and supportive. If imagery or emotion becomes activating, pause and open your eyes to reorient to the present. This recording is a grounding aid and is not a substitute for psychotherapy or EMDR treatment.
