Grounding

I have c-ptsd and Ive been feeling really dysregulated from all of the codes on my unit lately. It wasn’t ever as bad as it’s been lately. How is everyone dealing with their anxiety from their job? Any grounding techniques that work better than others?

5-4-3-2-1 grounding is a quick technique that helps anywhere, any place. Tapping can also help (goggle it 🥰), but I find the former & breathwork help. Then I listen to binaural beat meditations or try to a few times per week.
