Grounding & sensory reset

FAQ

Why "outside" vs "inside"?

In panic, the body is already loud. Looking outside gives the mind a change of scenery. In dissociation, the body has gone quiet — re-checking inside helps re-inhabit.

What if I can't find 5 things?

Find whatever there is. Single colours count. Edges of objects count. Don't argue with yourself — count.
