You can't reason with a dysregulated brain. That's not a metaphor — it's neuroscience. And yet we keep asking clients (and ourselves) to skip straight to step three. This sticker is a visual reminder of the sequence that actually works: regulate first, connect second, think third. Based on the Developmental, Relational, and Regulatory model, the 1-2-3 framework is simple enough to hang on a wall, stick on a notebook, or hand to a client who needs to see it every single day. The cloud-shaped die-cut design features numbered steps with color-coded circles and arrows — the kind of visual that lands even mid-crisis. WHAT YOU GET: 1 die-cut cloud-shaped sticker Color-coded numbered sequence design Printed on glossy sticker paper Water resistant ~3" wide GREAT FOR: ✓ Therapy offices and group rooms ✓ Treatment planners and clinician notebooks ✓ Client handouts and session rewards ✓ Anyone working with emotional dysregulation Designed by a licensed addiction counselor with 15+ years of clinical experience.
