when the host of my system was younger, he had an incredibly difficult time grounding himself without bringing harm to the body. here are some safe grounding techniques that have helped my system!
chewing on ice or gum
listening to music (note: if you’re trying to prevent a switch from happening, make sure it’s not music that will trigger someone else to come out!)
petting your pets
working on a task you find simple and soothing, like making a bracelet or going for a walk!
drinking something warm
taking a cold shower
calling someone you trust
counting something, like how many beads are in a jar or how many pens are on a table
planning out your week
there are so many more grounding techniques, feel free to send in an ask if you’d like to hear more!
