ACTIVE LISTENING is a great skill to develop for all sorts of scenarios, and its actually a key skill that therapists and counsellors need to master, but it’s a great way to support a friend who’s opening up to you. Sometimes we think we’re saying the right thing to help, but sometimes people are just looking for someone to listen and really hear what they’re saying

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.
