How to use grounding skills to cope with trauma triggers

Triggers can be challenging to manage, especially for those who have experienced trauma. Grounding skills can help you stay present and cope with triggers as they arise. Scaling can be a useful tool for measuring your level of distress, while feet-to-the-floor and breathing exercises help you feel grounded and centered. You can also use the 5-4-3-2-1 technique to bring awareness to your surroundings and senses. Remember, it’s essential to practice grounding and containment skills regularly to make them more effective.
