Iff, as soon as you come out of the state of the emotion devouring you, simply observe what occurred and what your current state is without judging it or letting it pull you back in. Be OK with it.

Repeatedly drop the demand that the present circumstance shouldn't be as it is.

Realize there is always a background consciousness behind the identification with the storm. When it occurs again can you be aware of this consciousness that isn't identified with the storm?
