...is solid advice. If you were to see a therapist for instability after a course of EMDR, they’d likely be focusing really heavily on your grounding skills, and getting grounding practices built into your everyday routine. Can you introduce some more grounding into your day to day to get you...

I’m sorry you’re going through this. Touching five different textures around the room helped me once and I was also doing grounding after grounding. Can you take a break and go sit outside? Fresh air? What hobbies do you have? Sometimes just talking here helps me calm down (with people that...

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry you have had that experience. She absolutely, completely and utterly, failed you and worked way way way outside of professional boundaries. You have already listed all the ways, but just to say what I have heard from your post. She has done: Dual relationships...

We all do the same thing. There is no middle ground. We either say way too much or not enough. We manage it and I think that is where we are different.

I have a bunch of different tools for that, -breathing - count it in your head four in eight out. -grounding - i am in my t's office, I am safe, today is Tuesday..... -tapping - hard to explain but its like slapping your thighs to a good song. Grounding is the first go to. Sometimes I find...

I think that grounding is super great, but also a lot of trauma is held in the body and for me personally jumping straight to grounding or bringing myself to my body doesn't help right away, my bodies learnt coping skill is to exit my body so the opposite can throw up big huge red alarm system...

Stretching, Slow dance, Grounding.

I get dysregulated whenever the prospect of reprocessing comes up and grounding techniques don't work fantastically (and one of them is badly triggering so avoid that like the plague). My brain is terrified of retraumatisation and I agree with its assessment there due to the specific nature of...

I'm sure he could if I try and email him again. Hopefully the wellbeing team will re-refer me. I can also re-refer myself for more therapy in university in about a month, but I'm going to see what wellbeing can offer me first. As for the grounding, yes, I really hope I can integrate that more

...for managing overwhelming emotions, which can make it less necessary for our brain to keep resorting to dissociating as a way to cope. Grounding is a skill that we can build up like a muscle. Unpracticed, we typically aren’t all that great at it. Practicing mindfulness throughout the day...

I was going to suggest slow long walks which for me helped to reconnect with my body in general and what I listened to or thought about on the walks had to be calming / or stabilizing / grounding.

Really. I have best when I grow it in the ground. In a container it’s just weird most times for me. Right now it’s in a container so thanks for reminding me

...says she can’t stabilize me enough to really do trauma therapy. I regularly have “angry outbursts” (as my psychiatrist calls them) and grounding techniques are minimally helpful. Has anyone else had this? What are therapists really supposed to do to stabilize? I’m also autistic if that...

Thanks for the reply, AI doc! Luckily, I do have some grounding tools available. Do you have an exaple of a reasonable scheme for tapering off lamotrigine? I’m at 25mg per day now.

thanks so much for the tips! it's definitely something I need to keep working on.

I am grateful for cool weather, enough to eat, being more grounded, thinking ahead - my prefrontal cortex is working and that is exciting.

Update: she has just sent a really nice reply. I find endings and goodbyes in general very tricky. And I usually avoid avoid avoid and just drift off leaving things to just quietly peter out. This ending may not have been ‘perfect’ (whatever that might have meant!) But I am quite proud of...

Thank you all for making me feel a bit less maddened. My worst one is, of all obscure things, beginning to have a specific grounding technique described to me (I have little idea what the second half is). Yet I can see how it's linked.

Best things to do that help immediately 1. Grounding yourself 2. Compliment youself 3. Pray to God to reduce triggers 4. Relax by reading 5, Relax by making daily gratitude list

...drops have been? Sometimes they can help you figure out if you need to slow the taper down, or if there are things that might help you feel a bit more grounded during the adjustment periods. How are you holding up otherwise? Do you have any grounding stuff that helps when the anxiety spikes hit?

...you instead of healing. A good therapist should focus on coping skills that actually work for an autistic nervous system. Standard grounding techniques like deep breathing might not be enough. Somatic methods, like movement or temperature changes, can work better. Also, look into DBT skills...

I am feeling some anxiety and a little bit of overwhelm. I am going to do some walking outside and grounding on the grass. The Insurance Company is sorely lacking in professionalism and competency. It is draining and exhausting. I can take regular breaks from them. I am tired of Elder Care...

...father. relate a lot to this. I don't live in a rural area but I have pets that I care about a lot, looking after + watching them grow is very rewarding and grounding to me. beauty in the world/life helps fight against my cognitive distortions that love is not real and people are inherently...
