Coping Skills Corner: Sensory Grounding

You may have had the experience of getting so deeply pulled into an emotion, memory, or thought, that it feels impossible to escape and get back to the present moment. This could look like feeling disconnected from yourself, things around you feeling unreal, or feeling like you are reliving something awful that happened to you in the past. Or it could feel like your thoughts are going so fast you can’t catch them, having feelings of panic, or feeling like your head is spinning. If this sounds like you, the coping tool we’re talking about here may be helpful.
