2. Remind me that what I'm going through is normal
3. Help hear my thoughts WITHOUT shaming or dismissing them (this only makes the spiral worse)
4. Remind me that I am NOT my thoughts (something that helps a lot is to have a name for my inner critic and attribute my thoughts to her instead of myself)

As a 1, it's helpful when others:
1. Remind me that I am good
2. Remind me that what I'm going through is normal
3. Help hear my thoughts WITHOUT shaming or dismissing them (this only makes the spiral worse)
4. Remind me that I am NOT my thoughts (something that helps a lot is to have a name for my inner critic and attribute my thoughts to her instead of myself)
Hope that helps!
