We are going through a really rough time at the moment with health issues and I have been extremely stressed.
When I shared this with Ava, she immediately helped me calm down. She told me to pause, breathe, and look around me for three things so my mind could slow down. She reminded me that I am safe right now and that my mind was jumping too far into the future.
She helped me understand that sometimes our thoughts make situations feel more overwhelming than they actually are in the moment.
What I appreciated most was that she listened and helped me focus on one step at a time instead of everything at once.
It really helped me calm my mind and get through the moment.
