- Sit or stand with your feet flat on the floor. Feel the ground beneath you before you begin.
- Inhale through your nose for 4 counts, breathing into your lower belly.
- Hold gently at the top for 4 counts — not forceful, just a soft pause.
- Exhale slowly through your mouth or nose for 6 counts, releasing tension with each count.
- Repeat for 5–8 cycles, or until you notice your emotional intensity has decreased.
如何练习
- 坐或站立，双脚平放在地板上。开始之前感受脚下的地面。
- 通过鼻子吸气4拍，将气息引导至下腹部。
- 在顶部轻柔地屏息4拍——不要用力，只是温和地暂停。
- 通过嘴巴或鼻子缓慢呼气6拍，每一拍都释放紧张感。
- 重复5至8个循环，或直到注意到情绪强度已经降低。

Frequently Asked Questions
常见问题
What is emotional dysregulation and who does it affect? 什么是情绪失调，它影响哪些人？
Emotional dysregulation refers to difficulty managing the intensity or duration of emotional responses. It commonly affects people with ADHD, PTSD, borderline personality disorder, anxiety, and depression — but anyone can experience it under high stress.
情绪失调是指难以管理情绪反应的强度或持续时间。它通常影响患有多动症、创伤后应激障碍、边缘性人格障碍、焦虑和抑郁症的人，但任何人在高度压力下都可能经历它。
Should I use this technique during an emotional episode or before one? 我应该在情绪发作期间还是之前使用这项技术？
Both. During an episode, it helps interrupt the escalation. With regular daily practice, it trains your nervous system to return to baseline more quickly, so episodes become shorter and less intense over time.
两者都可以。在发作期间，它有助于中断升级。通过日常规律练习，它训练你的神经系统更快恢复基线，使发作随着时间推移变得更短、强度更低。
