This is going to sound crazy, but my T and I started tossing a ball back and forth during our last session. We had both read an article that mentioned it, and I brought it up in session. I really *loved* this. It definitely made me feel more present, much more so than trying to stomp on the floor and feel grounded that way (which doesn't seem to do a thing for me).

The only other thing I've ever felt really helped was having T change the subject to something that is lighter, not threatening, and *engaging* to me. Something I don't care about won't do it, but something I'm interested in... once I start talking, I slowly warm up and seem to come back a bit at a time.

That's all I've got... love hearing the other responses!
