Open Arms Transition Center

When anxiety or trauma responses hit, grounding can help bring you back to the present moment. Try this:
Name 5 things you can see.
Name 4 things you can touch.
Name 3 things you can hear.
Name 2 things you can smell.
Name 1 thing you can taste.
This simple exercise works by anchoring your nervous system to right now -- not the past, not the fear. Just this moment. Attached is a few graphics that also include a breathing exercise.
If you find yourself needing more support than grounding exercises can offer, our team is here. Open Arms Counseling and Transition Center has immediate openings, and we accept Medicaid and most insurance plans.

Trauma doesn't just live in our memories. It lives in our bodies -- in tension, in fatigue, in a nervous system that learned to stay on high alert to keep us safe.
Healing from trauma often means learning to feel safe in your own body again. That's not a quick fix. It's a process, and it's one you don't have to go through alone.
Our therapists at Open Arms Counseling and Transition Center are trained in trauma-informed approaches and are accepting new clients now. We accept Medicaid and most major insurance.
Take the first step today.

Mindfulness isn't about clearing your mind or forcing calm. For trauma survivors, it's about learning to notice what's happening in your body and your thoughts -- without judgment, and without being swept away by them.
Small moments of awareness can be powerful steps toward healing.
At Open Arms Counseling and Transition Center, we specialize in trauma-informed care and we have immediate openings. We proudly accept Medicaid and many other insurance plans.
You don't have to keep waiting to feel better. Reach out today.
