I really like all those Zen "live in the moment" techniques. I had a great trauma counselor that was really good with those. Goofy things work for me too like playing catch. Or walking around. My dog helps me a whole bunch. She's not even a therapy dog. She's a rescue dog with special needs so she keeps me busy and grounded at home. We are co-conscious and we all take care of her. One thing my trauma counselor told me which gives me hope is this as best I can remember and paraphrase:we are naturally made to heal. If we get a cut. It heals. Same with our psyche. So everyday, we are healing and getting better. Even if we aren't actively trying to. Then if we are working on our issues, GREAT. We heal better and faster.
