Hi Miss C. I have that problem in therapy as well. Can be very hard to stay connected to the therapy room indeed!

One very simple trick that helps me is to count things in the room. T told me that the act of counting is performed by a different part of the brain that does the dissociating, so counting activates that other part of the brain, thus helping to ground. It works for me *every* time.

You can count anything and everything - books on the shelf, tiles in the ceiling, items of furniture in the room, squiggles in the carpet... when I have counted all of one thing I just move on to something else and count that too, for as long as I need to.
