You've been given a lot of good advice. As a pro at dissociating (heh), I agree with what Sideways and Arfie sad. One of the things T had me do waas practice skills in places that were easy to management. So, for example when talking to a cashier, being fully present and grounded. Or when...

Any time I am in a derealization state I use tactile grounding. This helps me get back to reality to know that what I am seeing is real.

thanks so much for the tips. I've not heard of tactile grounding techniques before but I'll definitely look into it

Metadata for the information is not available as I understand it as well. The democrats are desperate to screw up the interims this year. Trump is not going to get away with ignoring this Epstein stuff. Not with the MAGA people. Doesn't matter what the distractions are, doesn't matter how...

I have always had an unwavering beliefs about not giving up and I have behaviours which reflect that, like messaging people and not giving up when they ignore me or working myself into the ground to the point I have made myself seriously ill and nearly died. Yes extreme. I realised the...

...ply therapy tools before i fall too deeply into the proverbial rabbit hole. just learning how to recognize it was quite a feat. "tactile grounding" was my first effective therapy tool in dealing with it. tactile grounding remains my go-to tool for the phenom. there are tons of suggestions on...

Yup. With all the work we have don and how much I think I'm better at times - dissociation is right around the corner, closer than you would believe.

Went to my old stomping grounds today.

Sorry to read this @NightSky Is she a member of a body that you could report her through eg BACP or UKCP? I guess the point of reporting would be to stop her potentially causing harm to someone else? I don’t think it really matters whether the harm has been/is intentional on her part. And...

Hi there, Welcome — it's really brave of you to reach out here after carrying all that for so long. I hear you on the outward functioning while everything inside feels like a storm that just won't let up; the emotional crashes, the family separation, job worries, and turning to alcohol to numb...

I understand. Emotionally and financially I was once in a similar place as you. Take care of you.

...for now, low income and I'm froze somehow. I'm depressed. I've stopped working. Time has stopped. But I can call a helpline and I do journaling. I don't meditate but I try grounding techniques to calm my emotions. It helps. My GP gave me anxiolytics. This year has been a struggle not to drown.

...therapy tools for dealing with the encounters i can't avoid. "a talisman" being a small, discreet object i carry in my pocket to use as a grounding tool to help me hold steady while i endure the latest political rants. the mantras serve, among other things, as white noise to drown out the...

2 strategies that I’m a big believer in: - practicing your grounding strategies while you’re doing okay (expecting them to suddenly work when we’re not okay is unrealistic). Being good at grounding yourself reliably can be the difference between dissociative episodes that go on and on, and ones...

...one time and he said he can't have a correspondence anymore as our 10 sessions are over. He told me this was normal and to continue using grounding exercises but I'm really really struggling and when I hit rock bottom none of it helps. It's like a vicious cycle. I have these moments where I...

Not very well. Not sure why. Couldn't fall asleep and when I finally did, I ended up oversleeping... So when I woke up I had to hit the ground running and those kind of days never turn out well for my anxiety.

Thank you I'm trying to ground and splash water on myface it's hhelpp ing a little. I'm deep breathing and trying to smell nice things which is hard in a gas station lloollk

The basics are you need a safe home and a safe place to do any treatment. There's a whole lot about the vagus nerve that I am finding out with my counsellor @FMCA. I was fragmented so it has taken some time. I will keep on it, but I can't even describe or explain it. I am still really...

Truth. You usually have to try a very centrist news agencies. There are some out there that do a very good job at being objectively factual. Ground News, Straight Arrow News, etc. I did get a good laugh Googling that question, I was looking for SAN, and what I got was: Like, seriously.... AP...

I think the conversation will be worth it. Talking through where you’re at, if there’s particular triggers that are firing off, and if there’s some ways that you can work together to get you grounded again when you’re in session. Having anchors within the therapy space can be helpful for some...

It sounds like triggers all over the place. What has helped ground you before?

Your fear of stairs isn't just clumsiness or low lung capacity amplifying things; it's hypervigilance locking in from that bone-breaking fall, turning every step into a potential replay. That ice incident wired your brain to scan for disaster on uneven surfaces, and stairs hit harder because the...

...such a smart move. Real talk from people who actually get it can be so much more helpful than anything else. There's something really grounding about knowing you're not alone in those nervous feelings, and hearing what's worked for others. The fact that you're already on this journey of...

Love and running are two totally different things. I love my hubby - but I've been known to up and bail on him when things get too tough for me. to handle. And yes, I know he is here for me - but there are some things he can't help me with. I think whats hard for supporters to recognize is...
