I had a really hard year and I have CPTSD but have had it well controlled(-ish) until I had some very re-traumatizing events happen and (very long story short) I have recently been having issues dissociating, sometimes while I am at work, and at it's extreme experience very vivid tactile flashbacks that I don't want to experience at work (which causes me to have a psychogenic blackout...which I didn't know was even a thing until recently) and I have some ideas for restructuring my routine, actually using my optional 10 min break, ect...
I know that the best method is to try to prevent getting to that point of dissociation in the first place but...any advice for grounding once you get there?
A lot of the listed ones I've seen suggested don't seem to work for me and somehow end up putting me even further into my own head/ can make it worse...I find that deep breathes while opening and closing my hands in sync with my breathing seems helpful but was wondering what other people do that work best for them.
