How to Get Grounded

Today's conversation we discuss one of those essential tools as you heal through your trauma. GROUNDING! But honestly, every human needs this tool! Grounding is so important to practice as trauma throws EVERYTHING off.  Learning to recognize when you are NOT grounded, centered and in the present is half the battle. This can be difficult to do at first, so no self judgement here! Being aware of how this shows up for you is the first step. We discuss some common signs that can give us this warning.  Our goal is to stay in this, 'Window of Tolerance', so that we can see reality, make better decisions and move forward. To see the visual worksheet that  shows this concept of the window of tolerance click HERE. We also talk about some ways to ground that perhaps work for you, but as always, this is your journey and so listen to your own body and create your own grounding rituals. It will absolutely help in your healing and recovery.  Elements Of Abuse Course with Amie Woolsey and therapist Kimberly Day Starting February 13th, 20th & 27th
