Ftt talked to me some today about grounding. To look around the room, sort of orient myself and get "grounded" to where I am. That I should do it when I feel triggered in the way that it sends me "underwater" and I cant feel attached to my surroundings, or if I feel dissoc in some way. She said that posting here and journaling can do this to me and I should periodically ground myself (maybe to get better at it?) as we go through trauma stuff.

How does everyone else "ground" themselves? What does grounding mean to you?
I must be pretty lousy at it because it doesnt take much for me to mentally "leave" and not want to come back.
