Trauma-Informed Sensory Grounding
Trauma-informed sensory grounding adapts 5-4-3-2-1 with choice, opt-out steps, and clinician guidance—avoiding triggers and forced sensory contact.
Trauma-informed sensory grounding adapts 5-4-3-2-1 with choice, paced movement, and opt-out steps—avoiding forced touch, sudden bright light, or scents linked to past harm. The client controls pace; clinician guides when dissociation is present.
Shorter orienting may precede full counts. Not DIY for unprocessed trauma without support.
