Grounding techniques can help us when we’re feeling out of touch with our body and surroundings. They can help us reconnect to the present moment.

This might be because we’re experiencing difficult emotions, like fear, anxiety or anger. You can also use grounding techniques if you’re experiencing a panic attack.

This technique uses all 5 senses, and can be used any time.
