Mouse, my therapist isn't into all that grounding business either. It's messy and painful, but we just get right into it and do the work. I wonder if all that skill building crap is for therapists to give themselves a breather while they figure out what to do. The gutsy ones will just roll up their sleeves and let the s*** hit the fan, but be there to ease things to closure. Can you imagine Robin Williams in Good Will Hunting saying, okay remember to practice your skills...
