I practice "Grounding" with my Therapist.

I believe all my traumas are not suppressed. They are so real to me, I remember all of them. In my case what I need is to let them go. Acceptance is my goal.
When something triggers me, I need to remember to be present, to be grounded.

This article explains so much better than I can at the moment. I am in a phase where just try to put one though with another seems impossible. It is something call chemo - brain. Goes and come back. It is what it is, I accepted it. Then I make the decision to participate in your post even though I am having chemo - brain.

How does someone with automatic survival skills of dissociation learn to do this? Grounding is one skill that can help.[[/I]
