Describe to ground yourself
Say what you see and hear, out loud or silently, to come back to the present.
When to use it
Panic, flashbacks, dissociation — any time you need to orient to the safe present.
How
Put plain words on what is around you: “I see a pencil, a table, a rug. I hear the fan and the clock.” You can also rate the feeling: “I feel fear at a 3.” Describing is one of the fastest ways out of Emotion Mind.
