Or hold an ice cube in your hand

When I feel dysregulated -- like my emotions are once again ruling me, one strategy is to use sensory stimulation to short-circuit my senses. Somehow this also short-circuits my brain into forgetting for a split second that it's dysregulated, and can help break the cycle, the downward spiral into certain disaster.

Seems a treatment center is experimenting with a similar strategy.
