Grounding Tools

When life feels like too much—whether it’s stress from the news, anxiety about the future, or emotional overload—grounding techniques can help bring you back to center.

Grounding skills are simple, evidence-based tools that anchor you in the present moment. They work by calming your nervous system and shifting your focus away from distressing thoughts and toward what’s real and tangible right now.

What Are Grounding Techniques?

Grounding techniques are helpful when you feel:

• Anxious or panicky

• Disconnected or numb

• Overwhelmed by racing thoughts

• Triggered by painful memories

They help you get out of your head and back into your body, where safety and calm can begin to return.
