I struggle with this. There are things that have worked for me one time and then when I try to use it again it always doesn’t work.

Getting up and walking around has usually helped me. My counselor has pictures in his office and walking around looking at them intently helps.

Tapping has helped me and the breathing has helped. I also feel like if it doesn’t work then I’ve done something wrong, if my counselor suggests it.

Bare feet on the carpet, feeling the texture, and also touching things around me and noticing their texture.

I wish I could tell you something that would work every time. I wish I had something every time instead of grabbing at straws.

The grounding rock sounds like a great idea!
