Re: Life and trauma
Do you use the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 techniques @Former-Member
5 things you can see
4 things can touch
3 things can hear etc
I'm also mindful you have not had dinner. Perhaps trying to have something to eat, feel the texture in your mouth, notice the smell, see how it looks, just concentrate on that might help

Re: Life and trauma
@Till23 i do try that one aswell but unfortunately when I get to smell I often get triggered.
I'm not hungry today and there's nothing to eat at the moment.

Re: Life and trauma
Have you got anything to drink (non-alcoholic of course) @Former-Member
I skip over the feel one (same reason), you can skip over the smell one.
How's the colouring going?

Re: Life and trauma
@Till23 i had a few sips of water earlier. I don't drink alcohol, haven't for over 18 years.
I have finished one little mandala, there's 4 on one page.

@Till23 I've just quit colouring for the night. My eyes are blurry and I'm feeling dizzy so I'm trying to rest.
