I had a dissociative episode earlier because I was getting stressed and overwhelmed about something and, coincidentally, I was sat next to one of my toddlers “touchy feely” books. In order to try and ground myself I started touching the different textures in the book and it did help to get me back to a more “present” state. I thought I’d put it on here as it might help others who have problems with dissociating, it may seem a bit odd (especially if you don’t have kids or your kids are older ) but it really did work. I’ve added a pic for reference but I suppose it could be any book, as long as there are good textures to get a good feel of. I will add though, this will probably only possibly help with mild to moderate dissociation.
it’s something that I know lots of people experience so if I can find ways that help a little for me, I will definitely share them. That sounds good, what sort of things do you have in it?
