Tip #1 of separating yourself from the problem is quite powerful because you are also separating yourself from the emotions triggered by the problem.

An analogy that comes to mind is that you can't see the top of the mountain if you are surrounded by a fog that is emotions, but if you were to look at the mountain from a kilometer afar, you could clearly see the mountain and the fog surrounding it.

Writing the problem down and thinking about it rationally has never disappointed me.

Eren, thank you for this text. As I wrote a very similar article myself, the concept of 'helping yourself' resonates with me a lot.
