    The STOPP worksheet provides a framework to help individuals manage distressing thoughts, images, memories or triggers. It involves stopping to observe one's feelings and body sensations, pulling back to gain perspective on the situation, and then practicing healthier responses. The worksheet guides the user to write down their reactions, take some time away if needed, use breathing techniques, describe what they are feeling and where, and consider alternative ways of looking at the situation before choosing the best action.
