When · Under stress

Under stress 2 Any ordinary day 1

When the past floods in, name five things you can see, four you can hear, three you can touch. Come back to now.

Grounding in your senses tells the mind the danger is memory, not present. The room is safe; you are here.

A minuteSafety and groundingTrauma informedQur’an 48:4

Breathe out longer than you breathe in, a few times. A slow breath tells the body it is safe.

You cannot argue a frightened body calm, but you can breathe it calm. Long, slow exhales do the talking.
