When you say grounded do you mean trying to get untriggerd? If that is what you mean then I have not been able to untrigger myself without talking to someone to help me feel better. Mostly right now it is T that connects with me and I am able to come back to baseline with is help. I know we are suppose to learn how to do that ourselves. I have tried all the self help suggestions and they are subpar but are at least something when frightened and alone. Sometimes I just have to ride it out, and hope I do not seriously harm myself, while I wait for my brain to stop hijacking me.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
