When I’m stressed out, I generally hold the person who causes me all the stress. I find holding them with both hands around their neck works best. That, and I curse a lot. Try it. 😂

Best comment ever!!

[@jennyjoy5124]

This is the best! 😆😆

[@playlikeagirl7385]

Literally do the under the armpit thing when stressed naturally and didn’t even realize it until just now lol

[@seabirdcj7442]

Same!!

[@xXxKaley2013xXx]

This is amazing for people with neuro divergence! If someone is going into a panic, ask for a hug, then squeeze them as hard as you can for at least 2 minutes. The pressure resets your nervous system, and it acts almost like skin to skin for newborns, it brings your heartbeat and your breathing into a normal pattern and mimics the person holding you. Eye contact also helps in some situations but not necessary! I’m autistic and it helps SO much when I’m on the edge of losing my shit.

[@angleeceiasorrentino]

This is how I sleep, like I’m hugging myself

[@Mangotropolis]

Yeaahhhhhh you know what I've been doing for a whole year, it's intuitive.
I particularly enjoy clutching my heart while remembering that some highly celebrated people don't have any, and it's why I can feel this way, while they're unable to. This brings some peace back.

[@marielynn9514]

I love to see you thriving and healing. Thank you for coming back and helping others too ❤️ love from Ohio.

[@fioregiallo]

The first pose is giving Mary Catherine Gallagher and I'm living for it

[@kitashay1987]

I was expecting a Supastar!

[@ici_coop]

Minus the two handed sniff 😂

[@lisajoy3850]

That's what I thought too lol

[@kaella463]

This is the comment I was looking for!

[@fioregiallo]

@@ici_coopI fkn love your username so much lmaooo

[@nonnidreams]

Forehead and belly helped me the most, but underpits, also helped😊

[@Baxfam1]

Thank you Alyson 💜

[@Aram-tw8mf]

I did it and i was still crying and feeling anxiety

[@esotericbliss5887]

You cannot convince me that Alyson stoner didn’t grow up to become an Olsen twin

[@neildomo-san3332]

Woo this triggers tears instantly for me.. 😭😭🤣

[@maddonut621]

I can't hug myself to feel safe. I go to my husband. Even if he's working, I can go ask him for a hug. ❤

[@princess24758]

This really just helped me ❤

[@MinorKey135]

Dang that forehead chest combo made me feel like a baby being help. That was wild (and insanely comforting)

[@ImBobbyMom]

I also feel stressed out every time I have to go to Walmart. 😂

[@fourever2ne1]

That would make sense on why I always put my hands on my chest or wrap arms around myself into a tiny ball when I’m having a panic attack/about to have an anxiety attack

[@ibitha]

this is weird, i literally used to do this all the time when i worked at a restaurant (that was extremely stressful, i barely got breaks and was yelled at for hours on end, during a 13 hour shift some days) i would go into the bathroom or fridge and just place my palms under my armpits, oddly, it helped instantly. i don’t really need to do it anymore unless i’m really anxious our of muscle memory now, but i never realized it was an actual soothing technique. weird.

[@EmoryHarper]

You said whatever feels most supportive and I put my palms on my shoulder blades across my upper chess so it gives the sensation of being gently choked.... I might have some issues

[@3ate4]

"I can buy myself flowerrrrrrs. I can hold my own haaaaaand."

[@hailstorm7025]

Love this 💞

[@Sopasjumbo]

I needed this just now ❤ it also worked post-panic attack

[@MsTinkerbelle87]

Holy crap that actually helped! Ta!!

[@AfraidMonsters]

I would always notice that in the shower I’d put my hands kinda in the middle of my chest. Idk why, and it doesn’t happen anymore, but it’s really weird cause I’d always end up like that automatically in the shower, enjoying the water

[@puravida8387]

You’re doing amazing on this new series. Thank you

[@katrinaaustbo638]

I hold my hands when sleeping

[@maddie.bolland.7]

This is so helpful, thank you 💜

[@dameankimberly6634]

Just wanted to say that outfit looks comfortable as hell, any ideas on where to get that 👀🤞

[@drodlaren]

I do this naturally!I HOPE it doesn’t look too sus. I just have anxiety. Not my fault I have natures built in stress balls on my chest.

[@michelangelo3879]

“supa star!” -molly shannon

[@IAmErica-qv7wj]

I call that first pose "SUPER STAR"... if you know where that's from, you're the shit in the best possible way!

[@menacetoevil]

I do this all the time 😂

[@laurenkeim5031]

All I can think of is “Superstar”

[@recoverymemequeen6810]

I like to cross my arms and lean against the wall

[@h.b.d.g.31]

👏🏾

[@skinsey85]

Oh weird, I didn't know this was a thing but I do these frequently to self soothe. Mostly the hands under the arms. Cool.

[@TinkOutLoud]

I thought she was about to the Super Star technique. Lol

[@reagangard8409]

...I dident know this was an actual thing...lol I've been doing this for years to help calm down

[@Katkit19]

Under the armpit just makes me thinking of superstar 🤣🤣🤣

[@cotybare9720]

[@DungeonBrat]

[@j-tenn226]

[@perribreese5127]

Oh wow this is great for someone that is in a triggered situation.

[@lauryniti1807]

whyd this kinda help tho

[@Jelleybean18]

That’s actually kinda cute

[@davidellis175]

I use a plushy

[@Eponine_Sandon]

I put something cold on my face

[@casperblue3668]

I thought you were going to smell your hards anyway thank you for this technique

[@zadtrax]

Why do a majority of women that make videos on social media decide to shoot the video while sitting in their vehicle? It’s a weird trend that I don’t understand. Video like this could’ve easily been done in a bedroom or living room, or outside on the deck or a variety of other places.

[@tatyana137]

Ssssssuperstar

[@janehoe.]

I think you would enjoy EFT

[@GabrielaCoutinho12]

😳

[@El-aitch]

I was just waiting for you to sniff your fingers after the armpits. 🤷‍♀️

[@mamarobyn]

Or just try xanax

[@gaysniper]

Please tell me you’re gay 😮
