This past session I was feeling dissociative even though that is rare for me. T asked me if I wanted to do a grounding exercise but in the moment I felt it was more important to keep talking. I didn’t have access to feelings until he hugged me and I burst into tears. The hug may have had the grounding I needed to get back access to emotions.

Maybe let things unfold in a way that feels right in the moment? I find grounding great when a session is ending but I don’t like interrupting the natural flow of things in the middle of session, personally.
