Care Tip: Deep pressure wall push
Did you know that you can use intense sensory input to ground you and stay present when you are having a panic attack, dissociating, stuck ruminating thoughts, hearing voices or having a dark hallucination? It can!
One of the most helpful senses for this is Deep Pressure. We have sensors deep in our muscles that, when activated, send messages to our brains that we are safe. This is why it feels so good to have your dog lay on your lap or to hug a loved one. This is also why swimming, Yoga, or lifting weights can feel so nourishing.
So, try this Deep Pressure Wall Push with me and help your body feel safer right now!
