  • Begin with breathing into the nose and out through the mouth
  • Notice the space you are in - turning to the left and looking behind you, then turning to the right to see behind you.  Feel the stretch.
  • Take in the space. Notice where the wall meets the ceiling.  Notice the dark and light and colors in the room.  Name them to yourself.
  • Take 3 deep breaths, noticing where the air moves in and out of the body.

    • Listen to the full episode - S1:E9 Responding to Trauma: Psychological Tools for Resilience and Recovery with Dr. Cynthia Eriksson. Here Dr. Eriksson guides you through a practice to ground you in your body in order to settle emotions.
