I look forward to trying this grounding technique. I find it to be more in depth and detailed than what I've been taught in the past. It's different than radical acceptance. And it's helpful because it isn't toxic positivity. I recently moved to the Bible belt of the south and when people tell me that their faith solves everything and act as if it should do the same for me I find it frustrating. It lacks empathy and understanding the nuances of an exhausted parent who never sleeps and navigates meltdowns and fights and appointments and advocating and explaining what nobody seems to understand and while never successfully feeding your children despite massive efforts, and don't forget the judgements of how simple everyone thinks the solutions are. Even the journaling prompts can be good questions to verbally process with a therapist or appropriate listening ear. They aren't overly complex. They are manageable. Love it!
