I guess for me it helped me be able to focus on other things than what was currently causing a spiral
Basically
Brain starts stressing about random shit
"Excuse me brain I'm busy right now"
Or in other situations
Randomly being reminded of some fucked up shit I've experienced
"Excuse me brain I'm busy ATM could we focus on something else right now"
Of course this is all in addition to working on methods of handling stress in general (square breathing, etc)
