Grounding Techniques

 

The 5 Step System To Reducing Trauma Based Anxiety / Tremor / Paranoia

 

Before we start, lets focus on your breathing, you want to take slow deliberate breaths

 

Inhale Slowly

 

Hold For 3 Seconds

 

Exhale Slowly

 

Continue This For As Long As Necessary To Get Your Breathing To A Manageable Level.

 

Okay, Good, next were going to ground ourselves till our mind and ourselves are in a calm enough state to continue on with the rest of the day / meeting / event / ect

 

5. Look around the room, and find a point of interest to focus on a cup a pen a disk and vape anything.

 

4. Think about 4 things that you can touch in the immediate vicinity, your hair, a pillow, your keyboard, and especially the ground under your feet.

 

3. Listen and acknowledge three things that you can actually hear. the sound from your air conditioner/ceiling fan, any wind noises, animals outside making noises, the clack that comes from your keyboard.

 

2. Sniff and acknowledge two things you can smell. Pillow, your drink. your can of body spray, or if it helps you could leave your room and go to the bathroom and smells some soap or other items like bodywash.

 

1. Acknowledge one thing you can taste. What does the inside of your mouth taste like? take a sip of coffee or your drink, gum perhaps?

 

When i get an extremely dissociative state these 5 tips have been essential in coping within day to day life.

i will add more guides when i get time to write them.
