Huh, I don’t think I ever posted about the color-related coping mechanism I use
Basically I give myself three options for colors, one bright (orange, red, etc.), one easily found in nature (green, brown, etc.), and one neutral (white, black, grey). It’s okay if you need someone to help you choose!
Once I pick a color I look around wherever I am in that moment and try to list off things of the color I chose
You don’t have to count unless you want to, and it works almost anywhere!
If it doesn’t work the first time, that’s okay! You can do it a few more times (assuming it proves helpful for you. Everyone is different so it’s possible it won’t work for all)
I find it most helpful for anxiety, dissociation, and hallucinations
I also found this on my own, and outside of therapy
Sorry for the wall of text, I hope you’re all well!
