WHAT IS GROUNDUING?

Grounding is a set of simple strategies that can help you detach from emotional pain (e.g. anxiety, anger, sadness, self-harm). It is basically a way to distract yourself by focusing on something other than the difficult emotions you are experiencing. You may also think of grounding as centering, distracting, creating a safe place, or healthy detachment.

Although grounding does not solve the problem that is contributing to your unpleasant emotions, it does provide a temporary way to gain control over your feelings and prevent things from getting worse. Grounding anchors you, gives you a chance to calm down, and allows you to eventually return and address the problem that is triggering the unpleasant emotions to begin with. And grounding can be done anytime, anywhere, and no one has to know. 

WAYS OF GROUNDING:

There are three types of grounding. You may find that one of these types works better for you, or that each is helpful.

Mental (focusing your mind)

Physical (focusing your senses)

Soothing (talking to yourself in a very kind way.

Join us for an inspirational talk and experience of viewing self-care through the lens of 4 Essential Gateways to Wisdom.

He shares the essence of the model and invites participants to experience the process themselves through guided meditation. Whether you are living with ALS, a caregiver, a friend, or a family member, you will have the opportunity to address a personal issue related to self-care, accessing your own innate wisdom.
