...hate. So I have always felt on the outside. That doesn't seem so problematic now as I see society as wrong rather than myself. But I seel out the people around me who offered care, compassion, love. So I don't feel alienated by E or my friends. And that gives me grounding that I never had...

Can you ground yourself? And then, when you're calmer, let him know, again, how it makes you feel? When you asked him before not to do it, what was his response? Did he forget this time? Has he said sorry?

And right back at you! Thank you, @Grasping Hope You are absolutely right. The lies were out of this world. IDeliberately covering up and misreporting stories related to the truckers protest. Police were literally beating people (who were kneeling and singing O Canada) in the streets...

So here is my giant Labourd 3 or 4 years old I got it in a little pot it was about 5 invented high my question is how to propagate? It seems to need help. I know if I wound the branches on the ground and bury them my forsythia makes plants it even spreads on its own I’m pretty sure so I got 4...

...to report them to the property management every time they do something antisocial like banging on your floor/their ceiling? In terms of grounding and feeling better in your home: shifting the responsibility and burden of who has created this situation. Would that help? This is not you. . And...

I understand and I am the same, want ing to protect and help. It is not always possible, so I do what I can. No one protected me and I feel so responsible for others, mostly children. My son brought ever broken child home to me, because he knew I would help. He is also so tender. I did a...

...and it was a good one, I feel more positive about it. We've made it more structured. First 5 mins for a quick "how was your week" 10 mins grounding exercises, 30 mins to talk about whatever I need to and then last 5 mins for recap/ goodbyes. She has given me some breathing exercises to...

...right. Therapist will take you through it and spend time teaching you techniques to help. Someone might have links but could look up grounding and safe place techniques. Sounds like you have a good environment for it, having a routine will help. Remember the ptsd cups. Pace yourself and...

It's not really as simple as that, if he's agreeing to get prof help it's a big step. Sounds like behaviour therapy might be beneficial. Try telling him the consequences but depends on how bad it is, there could be a middle ground between the coping and healing.

Finding a grounding technique that works has been nearly impossible for me. I'll keep trying, but it feels nothing works.

I like to read Democracy Now headlines. Idk what is legacy and ground but they seem really neutral. AP too—they have footage they share with no talking, so you can just see events and hear speakers without commentary.

i don't fight the urges. seems to me that the harder i fight, the meaner the urges get. i use the very grounding tools you mention here to bring myself back to center so that i move the urges to the back burner while i do what needs doing, even if it involves those gnasty human critters. dirt is...

Yeah, so those are grounding exercises, which are slightly different. Probably more useful than mindfulness strategies when you’re triggered. TIPP skills in particular. Keeping frozen oranges in the freezer to hold in your hands is often a good alternative to splashing water on your face. But...

...to the body. The stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol can wear the body down to mud. Good you found out about the cold! A common grounding exercise is ice on neck. Maybe buy a bunch of cold packs for the freezer—different sizes and types—then reach for them when you have those...

...expression measured in decades, hypervigilance in the "if it has two legs and can walk, it's a threat" range, having a particular common grounding technique described to me triggers an emotional flashback (which I don't think was on my T's 2025 bingo card), and intrusion directly dukes it out...

I try to stay out of politics. I hold them all in very low regard. The basic rule is that sh!t flows downhill. No matter which party is in control they work at centralizing more power to the detriment of the individual. It is the little guy who always holds the bag when it comes to...

...but have had to start out new sooooo many times. The rumination causing anxiety and panic attacks....yep. there are various coping/grounding mechanisms. Some medical (I take antihistamines for anxiety/panic attacks) laying down, creative pursuits, exercise, meditation, therapy, food... this...

It sounds like a very difficult situation for you. Is it possible to not care as much about him? I mean it seems like he's doing what he wants to do but is coming in your room getting clothes and saying that he's going to the shop but then staying out all night. Calling you an asshole 🙄. And...

...up in the air again the following week. Therapy is tough. But it also helps. It will get better. Do you maybe need to work on some grounding stuff before digging things up on the EDMR session? The internal pain gets better and the flashbacks lessen. It's practice, and trial and error...

...it. Living it does. It’s less that everyone responds differently, and faaaaar MORE that everyone responds the same. Spanking, timeout, grounding, etc.? Are not the issue. Abusive, or not? Reeeeeally is. Regardless of “what” is being done, far more important is “why” & “how”. With PTSD...

The NHS gave me some psychoeducation and a variety of classes/ courses on symptom management techniques including - Grounding techniques They sound pretty useless when you hear them, but practised every morning, they became more and more helpful Sleep hygeine - no caffeine or sugar later in...

@Ecdysis Talking about genocide and its effects, i was reading about something else and came a across this: "Apparently, it doesn’t take much to get people to commit atrocities against their neighbors, as evidenced by the Milgram Experiment Conducting the Milgram experiment in Poland...

...I found reassuring. I'm not defective or weak, these things just happen sometimes and all we can do is take care of ourselves. Lots of grounding activities to hold you in the present moment. Being kind to yourself. I once had a telephone counsellor tell me that to process trauma we need to...

What usually works with grounding yourself? Sometimes it helps me to remind myself of the positives, reminds myself this fear and panic will subside etc. Maybe change the language you're using. That sometimes helps to shift the narrative. For example, rather than seeing it as a mistake, what...

This is a huge red flag. Therapists are not allowed to do this. ever. Also, what Movingforward said. He works for you and is there to support and guide you. I'd have a serious conversation with him and lay down the ground rules and boundaries. If you feel he can't respect your boundaries, then...
