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.
This is one of the three pages from the H.A.L.T.: Reflecting handout. Download the full PDF for all the guided reflection questions.
By tuning into the signals our body sends, we gain insight into our needs and learn how to respond in a healthy way. This next handout guides us in reflecting on how to respond to different emotional cues.
This is one of the two pages from the H.A.L.T.: Processing handout. Download the full PDF for the complete worksheet.
