How do grounding exercises help with fears?

Excellent info ❤

❤️ Driving at night especially makes me anxious and jumpy after being in a 3 car wreck recently that was quite scary and hurt me physically. I haven't had nightmares but whenever someone drives wreckless near me I feel like I am reliving the accident. Thanks for talking about grounding exercises.❤️

Right as I couldn’t get back to sleep due to some worrying. Thanks for this!

I have felt like this for years about the car accident thing it is real its hard to get out of the mind it took me probably 25 years,you got to get your mind on something else definitely.

I find so-called grounding exercises rage inducing.

Would this explain why I have a reoccurring nightmare of me losing control of my car crashing causing an accident years ago ?

It’s amazing how much things like grounding exercises, journaling, etc. really help. When I find myself ruminating over something getting the thoughts to paper, or a word document actually helps me stop. Especially when I started validating my emotions towards the subject, pulling out an emotions wheel and everything.

I can confirm it does help alot
I used it get my mind back to present moment

I’ve been in a few in the past. The last one, the car overturned in a swamp and it’s one of those two door VW bug so I was the last to come out. I got over it but now, so many years after and some really traumatic events, my stomach has that feeling now daily.

Wow. Thank you. I didn’t know this was common. ❤️‍🩹

I’m learning so much from you ma’am

Have you ever heard of this really interesting treatment called EMDR
