Student story: The Butterfly Hug
|
|
Feeling overwhelmed? This story by Master of Social Work student Yuting Cai offers a simple, yet practical technique to help restore calm to your day. Here’s a glimpse of Yuting’s story:
“As I began my social work placement, I experienced a mix of excitement and anxiety. I had a strong desire to make a difference, but I quickly became overwhelmed by the emotional weight of my clients' stories. I started to question my ability to provide the support they needed.
One
particularly tough day, after a session that left me feeling helpless, I sought support from my counsellor. I expressed how overwhelming it was to carry the weight of my clients' struggles. She listened intently and then introduced me to a self-soothing technique called The Butterfly Hug. At first, I was sceptical. How could a simple technique help me manage my emotional turmoil? But my counsellor explained that The Butterfly Hug promotes relaxation and emotional regulation, especially in stressful situations.
She
demonstrated the technique by crossing her arms over her chest and gently tapping her shoulders in a rhythmic pattern. Intrigued and desperate for relief, I decided to give it a try. As I crossed my arms and tapped, I focused on my breath, inhaling deeply and exhaling slowly. With each tap, a wave of calm washed over me, and the weight of the day started to lift.” |
