Explore these handouts by Better Together to learn about the H.A.L.T. technique, a tool for identifying your triggers and finding ways to self-soothe.
H.A.L.T. stands for Hungry, Angry (or Anxious), Lonely, and Tired (or Thirsty) — key signals our body sends to tell us what we might need. This first handout walks us through reflecting on how our thoughts, feelings, and actions can indicate these needs and guide us toward self-care.
