Trauma-Informed Toolkit: Emotion Regulation – P.L.E.A.S.E

Your body and mind are closely linked, and the health of one directly directly affects the other. An unhealthy body can make it difficult to manage your emotions. Our body responds to the way we think, feel, and act. This can be developing high blood pressure or a stomach ulcer in a particularly stressful event. The acronym “P.L.E.A.S.E.” can be used to help you remember important aspects of this connection. Treat Physical Illness. Eat healthy. Avoid mood-altering drugs. Sleep well. Exercise. Striving to follow these five steps will help you maintain good mental health. For resources on bringing mindfulness into your day and building your trauma-informed toolbox, click the button below.
