I apologise in taking so long to acknowledge everyone's input! It always helps to read other's ideas.
I thought about what I do to soothe others and it's usually to listen quietly and intently to what they have to say, with plenty of close (physical proximity) contact, like within the personal space of someone. Then to gently re-phrase what they've told me, so they know I've heard them. Then it's just being with them...it's very much a physical thing. Also I apparently have a calming voice (although I think it's deadly boring!!).
SSOOOOOOOO, it sounds like I need a therapist-type person to soothe me!!!!
One thing I've recently noticed, is that I like to be tightly bound up in bed covers or wrapped in a blanket. I seem to relax better that way. I think I probably just feel safe and it stops me from moving around so much.
Thanks again.
Jas
