Why Some Grounding Skills Might Not Work for You (And That’s Okay)
Before we dive into grounding and mindfulness tools, I want to talk about something important: not every regulation skill will feel safe for every nervous system—and that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. In this short episode, I share how trauma can impact your response to common grounding practices like breathwork, silence, or body-based exercises. You'll hear why it’s okay to adapt or skip techniques that don’t feel right, and how to start finding what actually works for you.
Because regulation should feel supportive, not triggering. And your body’s response makes sense.
