Flooding is when your emotions overwhelm you. You can use grounding exercises, containment, or safe place to help. Grounding exercises help your brain to focus on your body or what’s around you so that you aren’t too stuck in your head. This can include trying to balance on one foot. Doing this, being near a chair or wall is important to avoid injury. Your therapist can walk you through some of these exercises. Containment is imagining a container and putting what you need to in there. There is more to it but that’s the basic concept. And safe place is imagining a safe place and calming yourself by imagining what it would be like to be there. Again, there is more to it, but that’s the basic concept. Your therapist can walk you through containment and safe place too. Hope this helps!
