“I’m in the room, but panic has taken me somewhere else.”
In moments like this, we may gently invite you to become a sensory detective. Start with one nearby sensation:
• Notice 5 things you can see
• 4 things you can touch
• 3 things you can hear
• 2 things you can smell
• 1 thing you can taste
This 5-4-3-2-1 grounding technique helps bring your attention back to what is happening around you, rather than leaving you alone with anxious thoughts. Try it slowly, without judging yourself if it feels difficult at first.
An NCH-registered hypnotherapist can help you practise grounding skills safely and find approaches suited to you.
