I sometimes work with children. They are so candid and when they are experiencing lack of control of their emotions, I ask them to close their eyes, breath in and out, picture the emotion they are having a hard time with (see, hear, feel, sense). Ask them to describe with fine details. I take notes. Then I ask them if they have to learn anything from the situation that prompted the emotion. I take notes. Once I extracted learning I repeat back with other ideas or suggestions. Then I ask them to visualise a colourful rocket , to describe the whole thing in detail again. Then I ask them to put the emotion in the inside of the rocket, lock the door tightly and start decreasing all sub modalities (colour, smell, feeling). Then we start doing a countdown and I ask them to use hands to describe the blast off. (They look so cute mimicking the flames, swooshing with their lips) Then we start visualising the rocket flying away so high until it is a small dot that finally disappears. When they are ready, they open eyes, shake hands. I ask them: "Is the emotion still there or IT IS GONE, REALLY REALLY GONE?. 99% of the times they say it is gone and give me a smile. I break state (ask them to pinch their nose, or stick the tongue, or tell me favourite meal). I have so much fun working with kids. To make sure they learned, I ask them to practice the drill with their parents in front of me. They are so funny. They even pretend my voice! 😅
