154. 5 Things You Can Do to Break Out of the Shutdown/irritability Cycle

Ever feel like you’re walking on eggshells at home? One moment, your HSC is calm, loving and content … The next, they’re in full-blown meltdown mode … And then soon after, they totally shut down? If so, let me tell you something - This is expected in the meltdown cycle. In the world of HSCs, going from one emotion to another super quickly isn’t uncommon at all. We call this “The shutdown/ irritability cycle.” Just because it’s expected though, doesn’t make it any easier to deal with. And it definitely doesn’t mean you can’t do anything about the stress this causes, either.
