Alters and School

Has any one have any tips, concerning littles and school? Or alters in general and school?

A friend of mine is having problems keeping them at bay, he gets nervous around school and so will start to switch rapidly before, and dissociate during, sometimes even switching. This doesn't help him, and he's not to keen on inner communication which is what i would suggest, as they don't tend to listen to him.

Are there any grounding techniques? Any form of advice? Any thing that helped any one else?

Thank you for your time

Hi alyssa I think there are some grounding techniques on a sticky note on the top of the PTSD forum that might help your friend. It's so hard to be in situations like that when dissociating so much. When I can, I try to ground by concentrating on things around me, maybe a piece of paper or pencil in my hand, or cracks in the sidewalk or sipping on a cool drink. Sometimes really focusing on something can help calm down inside and distract enough that I don't fly off into the clouds. It doesn't always work but it is helpful the times it does. Maybe some other people will have some more ideas too. Best of luck to your friend.
