Flat and Numb Days

Make room for the days that are not sad, just empty and gray.

Purpose: Make room for the days that are not sad, just empty and gray.

When to use: Use this on a day when you feel nothing much at all.

Worksheet prompts

  1. Describe the flatness. What is it like from the inside?
    Not sad. Not fine. Something else.
  2. What has gone quiet lately? Tick what fits.
  3. Is there anything at all that gets through, even a little?
    Cold water, a pet, loud music, being outside.
  4. What do you need today, given that this is how it is?

Numb is not nothing. It is your system running quiet. It does not last forever.
