grounding techniques for dissociation almost never work for me except heat-based grounding techniques.. i just luv sitting on the ground by my heater like a cat who basks in warm sunlight.. or having a hot cup of tea in my cold hands. Romanticizing my shoebox of a life.

#i heard weighted blankets are very good for grounding. or hot baths #but baths gross me out idk. even if i just cleaned the shower i always am thinking abt pathogens or getting a uti. ew.#but the concept of a bath is nice. very nice. i miss being able to take them w/o a care in the world. now everything feels gross though #ohh i learned one where you shake your joints gently like ur ankles or wrists. roll your shoulders #helps a bit with dp; you realize that you have a real body and stuff #and cold always makes dissociation worse. the things i am slowly learning #there are other grounding techniques ive learned but not for dp/dr. the other ones i learned are to get you out of flashbacks/intrusive thts #i quit therapy bc i feel like many therapists arent equipped or knowledgeable on dissociation #so might as well try to tackle this on my own and do more research. i love it. sarcasm.#plus it saves me money anyway. bc I'm working less now. might as well read up. right.#im gonna try to find a cheap copy of the haunted self so i can take notes for myself #i have the pdf on my phone but the tricky thing is; my attention span is shit when my phone is in my hands #with a physical book i can both focus and take notes... i hope i can get a copy on ebay or smthn #txt
