What helps or could help in dealing with them?

Actually acknowledging them helps. It sort of takes some of the power away from them. Reality testing. Doing something comforting or soothing. Changing my environment--like going for a walk if the hallucinations are on the walls. Journaling about them. Talking it through with my T but I won't see her until April 15. Praying. Getting distracted by something else that requires a lot of concentration like a puzzle or something. Making myself use the five senses (or several of them) to pay attention to my surroundings that I know are real. Things like that. So I do have some tools to combat them.
