    This is fantastic - I wasn't aware of this way of grounding. Seriously good presentation skills too Eleanor!
    All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
    The truth resists simplicity.

    That's really helpful thank you! Also the 'Close your eyes if it feels safe to do so' was very reassuring to read. Most exercises state to close your eyes but I get frustrated and panicky.

    Very lovely handwriting :)

    @Past User Thank you! I put 'if it feels safe to do so' on purpose as when I do this in therapy, often it doesn't feel safe to do so. It depends what kind of headspace im in! :)

    I've done it before with my eyes open it is worked equally as well, your imagination takes over!

    This is a fantastic resource @Eleanor thanks so much for sharing. It is also very brave of you to share your own personal visualisations :)

    If anyone is feeling overwhelmed, there are some further grounding techniques here that can help to distract from uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. Remember that if you are really struggling, you can always reach out to someone such as The Mix 1-2-1 chat services or The Mix helpline at 0808 808 4994.
