A distraction box is something that allows you to distract yourself from how you are feeling; a feeling that wants you to SI, cry, a strong emotion that wants you to hurt yourself or makes you feel uncomfortable.
A box can be anything, any size, any shape, it can be big, it can be small.
What helps you to distract? This is an important question because what helps you to distract may not help another.

A distraction box can include anything. Whatever helps you to distract and helps to move you away from negative or unhelpful thoughts / behaviours; make your box unique and personal to you.
You can think of your distraction box as your creativity box. Adobe (the company that makes Photoshop, y’know) use creativity boxes to help their employees come up with new business ideas.
So just think about that! There’s nothing silly about a box – it’s serious business!
