Grounding techniques. Great for anxiety, anger, prevention of depersonalization/derealization, and to a degree over-stimulation that may lead to mood elevation.

Various methods of deescalating mood elevation (i.e. avoid overstimulating situations, take prn, try to focus on a task/project that soothes or better directs/calms thinking, avoid caffeine/alcohol, etc.)

Various methods of fighting off depression and related symptoms (challenging cognitive distortions, creating "To Do" lists for both necessary tasks - with positive rewards, etc.)
Very impressive!
