Episode 2: Grounded: Body Scan Meditation for Immediate Calm

In this Friday Healing episode of CPTSD: Let’s Make Sense of This Sh*t, we’re diving into one of the most effective grounding techniques for finding immediate calm: the Body Scan Meditation. Grounding techniques are essential for those of us living with CPTSD, as they help bring us back to the present moment, especially during times of anxiety, emotional flashbacks, or overwhelm.

We’ll start with a brief chat on why grounding is so important for trauma recovery. Then, I’ll walk you through the steps of a body scan meditation, guiding you gently from your head to your toes, helping you reconnect with your body and release tension along the way. This simple but powerful practice can help calm your nervous system and bring you a sense of peace, even on tough days.

Stick around after the meditation for some encouragement to make this part of your daily routine, and don’t forget to join us next week for our main episode: Understanding CPTSD: What Makes It Different from PTSD? Take a deep breath and let’s get grounded together.
