Hello,

I was wondering if anyone else has had the experience of feeling triggered by grounding exercises? And, if so, what do you do to help yourself?

In order to deal with my triggers, I have tried several different grounding exercises to calm my body down, but so far, I find that grounding activities exacerbate my triggers as I'm made aware of parts of my body that I wish to ignore.

Any pointers would be much appreciated

I have never been triggered by grounding exercises.

what's always helped me is using the senses.

so their's the classic one: name 5 things you can hear, smell, taste, etc, but I also have a box of stuff that I can touch, or things that smell nice, or make a noise, something comforting to " bring me back" to reality.

senses are a wonderful tool sometimes

Triggered by grounding exercises, would this mean street theatre or public harassment campaigns aiming at truama bonding the victim or reducing you to ritual humiliation and slander.

I have. My therapist told me to keep my eyes open if that helps.
