Confident
Hey everyone, hope all are well
Im not sure if this is the right branch of forum to ask this on, but what are your most reliable ways of reminding your body that you're physically safe and in the present moment? Like "hey body, we're not in the past anymore, we're in our own apartment alone" etc.
I ran into some pretty heavy triggers just now and mentally, I know I'm safe and not there anymore, but physically I am there. I tried to have a talk with myself like the quote I wrote out above but there's a disconnect between my mind and body. I tried to rub my fingers on a towel nearby for sensory grounding (???) and I have music playing gently in one earbud but it doesn't feel like it's clicking between mind and body still.
If you feel safe sharing here - How are some ways you remind yourself? Do you feel like you moreso just have to ride the wave?
