Outlaw Therapy

Grounding techniques intentionally use the power of your senses (yes, all of your senses can be used) to ground your attention in the present moment. This tool can be especially useful for those who suffer with PTSD, dissociation, or any overwhelming anxious feeling. When learned and practiced it can serve to remind and reassure one they are safe in the present moment. Pictured here is one grounding object (I have more!!!) I use frequently. It doesn't hurt that this object is small, cute, and full of texture for my fingers to feel, but really anything can be used. Common grounding objects include: stones/rocks, coins, a favorite fabric, a key chain, a ring, a small figurine. Sometimes there is nothing better than a pocket full of rocks.
