Grounding
Sometimes our thoughts spiral.
Our hearts race.
Our bodies feel unsafe, even when we are safe.
That is when we ground.
One of my all time favorite tools to use is the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 grounding technique. It gently guides the brain and body back to the present moment.
By naming what is real around you, your brain gets the message that "I am here. I am safe. I can breath."
Grounding does not erase the feelings, it reminds our body that we can handle them in a safe, appropriate, and easier way. Once grounded this is the time to teach effective coping mechinisms.
Coping and managing our emotions and feelings is not something we are just born with. It is something that needs practice and grace.
