Grounding Techniques: Staying Present in Stressful Moments

Grounding techniques are strategies that help you reconnect with the present moment. When you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or traumatic memories, you might feel disconnected from your body and surroundings. Grounding brings you back to reality by focusing your attention on what's happening right now, rather than getting lost in thoughts about the past or worries about the future. These techniques can act as an anchor, helping you feel more stable, secure, and in control.
