Abstract

In this article, the author discusses the benefits of grounding strategies in modulating arousal and emotion. These essential resources are reminders of the present and are well-used in trauma therapy, temporary or persistent affect and arousal dysregulation, and crisis interventions. Grounding strategies foster emotional and physiological stabilization by focusing on the present environment and anchoring oneself in the here and now.
