What Types Of Grounding Techniques Do You Do?

[SeanCharles]

Yep! I looked that over last night and have a bit of change to implement.... I am definitely not complaining of course about the changes/work I need to do using this forum. I am really glad I am here and have decided to come to grips with the issues which I know in ways are affecting my work and I also know Work is trying to figure me out to an extent.

Yoga and especially for me yoga nidra - do it each night and morning, pretty much without fail.

Ah ha! (another moment...) I'm not sure if this would be advisable for me, but I do have an X-Box fitness that has yoga!

@Geordie Go for it!

Also I do Tai Chi.

 

[SeanCharles]

This also has that as I recall...[DOUBLEPOST=1391577492][/DOUBLEPOST]Did you see the hug I gave ya earlier ;)

Tai Chi is so good to do. I am starting to relax and and enjoy it.

If you can do Tai Chi and Yoga on X box I say go @ Geordie go.

 

[SeanCharles]

Yep! I might try some of that before I go to bed...

Does reading a familiar book count as a grounding technique? I do not have a therapist that is experienced with PTSD. It is highly unlikely that I will be able to find a therapist that is experienced with trauma. In fact, I can not recall any mention of grounding techniques in therapy. The very first time I have heard of grounding was here on this site.

This site has taught me a lot about living with ptsd, I felt very alone in my suffering but I still have lots to learn. Medications only go so far; They just keep me afloat but they do not eliminate the suffering. I also use this site for grounding but I am not sure if my methodd are valid grounding techniques.

Sorry about the above post, I thought I put a double space between paragraphs. It is difficult type on my phone

If you spot an error in your own post, simply 'report' your own post, so staff can easily edit the error. That is better than taking a thread off topic as has happened here discussing editorial errors. Also, you should be able to edit your own post for (I believe) one hour after posting. So if you spot an error shortly after posting - you can fix it yourself. If you can't fix it, either because you ran out of time, or find it impossible on the platform you are using, please report the post and staff will fix it. I hope this help, should there be a 'next time' ;)

Thank you Cherryblossom

What do you think a grounding technique is @Ed Norton? What do you think you would feel if you did a grounding technique?

Have you searched this site for grounding techniques? As always Google is your friend in being able to search, read and come up with the definition of what a grounding technique is for yourself.[DOUBLEPOST=1391735405][/DOUBLEPOST]My sense of humour is a great grounding technique. It brings me to the hear and now.
