    I know this is c/lemmyshitpost but I am curious what grounding techniques people use that works for them.

    For me (done in order):

    • Choose a color and find 5 things that are that color.
    • Listen for individual 4 sounds.
    • Feel three things by touch. This can mean anything, like clothes, your own skin, or a desk.
    • What 2 things do you smell.
    • One thing you remember tasting.

    This grounding technique was suggested to me to use for PTSD.

    Edit: Ordered list to unordered list.
