To comfort each other, you first need to talk earnestly about flooding. Ask yourself and each other these questions: • What makes each of us feel flooded? • How do we each typically bring up issues, feelings of irritability, or complaints? • Do either of us store things up? • Is there anything I can do that soothes you? • Is there anything you can do that soothes me? • What signals can we develop for letting the other know when we feel flooded? Can we take breaks?
