Public Place Anxiety Grounding
Public place anxiety grounding runs discreet 5-4-3-2-1—internal naming, pocket touch anchors, and sight-heavy steps—in crowds without drawing attention.
Public place anxiety grounding adapts 5-4-3-2-1 for crowds, transit, and stores—using discreet sight and touch steps, quiet internal naming, and pocket anchors so you do not draw attention while still orienting senses. Stand aside when possible; one hand on stable surface.
Skip smell or taste if awkward; lengthen see and hear instead. Exit to fresh air if needed.
