I know meditation and somatic stuff isn't for everyone but when I hit a wall in the CBT thing of 'see, intercept and change the thought' I got (and get) a lot out of somatic stuff. Breathing, feeling where it hurts, not questioning just feeling through it. I can chuck you a couple of references if you want. I have some deep grief stuff that I will always carry as a pattern and in some ways that's ok with me. For me those things are to be felt and held then placed back in their place. I kinda go back and forth between the two (CBT/somatic).

100% have my sympathy about fast moving mind. That's the problem with feelings - they happen down there in your nervous system and it's so fucking fast.
