While it is important to feel our feels, emotional responses lasting longer than a few minutes, or repeatedly happening are no longer a "natural" expression, and if they lead to panic or anxiety, they will interfere with our ability to be fully present, and enjoy our lives. For immediate relief, control your breathing.
4-7-8 Breathing
Very powerful relaxing breath. Great for when you're feeling overwhelmed, or want to fall asleep faster.
Square Breathing
This will help regulate and relax your nervous system. Great for relaxing the body in stressful situations, and MANY other health benefits if practiced regularly.
Double Inhale
The physiological sigh has many benefits, but for stressful situations, it's fantastic at kicking on the parasympathetic nervous system (the relaxing side of our response network)
Cold Exposure
Jump in a cold shower, or put your face in a bowl of ice water for 30 seconds. It's not ideal, but I've used jumping in cold water while fully clothed, to stop an emotional reaction cycle. Interrupting the brain is the goal. Cold water will do that.
Wim Hof
A master at controlling the flow of oxygen into the body. He offers many guided meditations, and his claim have been proven in a lab setting.

Emotional Regulation
If I can trigger you, then I can control and manipulate you. Do you enjoy being manipulated?
I didn't, either. Work at disabling your triggers with my Trigger Freedom Blueprint. You can disable all of those triggers, so they're no longer a bother, and they can't hijack an entire day or more!
Meditation
Most growth (in my humble opinion) come from meditation and journaling. To meditate, means to become familiar with. To become familiar with your own thoughts is what meditation truly is.
If you're looking for a instructions, all of them right. There is no "wrong way" as long as your goal is sit with your mind.
If you would like guided sessions, here are a few from other practitioners:

Journaling
Getting your thoughts out of your head and down onto paper is a GREAT way to move through stressors are traumatic events. Letters of apology, forgiveness (even if never sent, and even if to yourself) are POWERFUL tools.
There LOTS of journals out there, and you can use simple plain paper.
However, what if I told you that there is a journal that was made specifically for the purpose of you moving through your own trauma and getting at all these?
It's true! I know because I made it, and still use it for myself on a daily basis.

If you are putting on dress clothes (a suit, or a dress), do you just throw it on and then leave the house WITHOUT looking the mirror?
No. You look in a mirror to make that you don't have parts out of sorts.
A good guide or coach IS that mirror. Great coaches are able to see those places where we might be stuck.
I've been doing this work for over a decade, and I still hire coaches to see the places where I might be out of sorts. None of us are exempt from this blind spot.
