Boiling over · 9–10
Use this when you’re about to explode: your body is shaking, your voice is rising, and your kid is right there. About 3 minutes.
How do you want to do this?
Watch, with captions
Listen only
Close your eyes if you can. You can lock your screen and keep listening.

Cold water, an ice cube or a bag of frozen peas on your wrists and face: 30 seconds on, then off, then on again. Step away if your kid is safe: “Mama needs one minute.” Breathe out longer than you breathe in. It won’t make you feel good; it takes the edge off.
Skip the cold if you have a heart condition, a slow heart rate or an eating disorder.
Practice at a 3, use it at a 9–10.
