Container: This resource encourages you to imagine a container—such as a lockbox, plastic bin, bottomless receptacle, or even a balloon—designed to hold distressing thoughts, feelings, or images. The container should feel strong and secure, large enough to store what you need it to. Visualize a mechanism for adding and removing these items, controlling the flow as needed. Decide where this container exists in your mind—perhaps at a comfortable distance. Once your container is conceptualized, bilateral stimulation (BLS), like tapping or eye movements, can reinforce this mental resource. You might also use the Butterfly Hug while focusing on your container. Name your container and consider the positive feelings associated with using it. To test its usefulness, think of a slightly bothersome event. Visualize placing this memory or its accompanying emotions into your container and note any shifts in your body. When the imagery is securely stored, open your eyes.
