The Pain Tracker
Reasons / Purpose
See tool overview.
Do
1) When you feel numb, write the last emotion you clearly remember.
2) Note what happened right before that emotion.
3) Add one body cue (jaw, chest, gut).
4) Take one tiny action (text a friend, 5 slow breaths).
How & Why It Works
Reconnecting interoception and labeling emotions improves clarity and engagement.
Results / Goals
Visible progress within 1–2 weeks (self‑rated mood/engagement).
