📣We’re on day eight of our 16 Days of Action, with today’s theme being Self-care/Grounding/Emotional Regulation. 📣
Self-care, grounding, and emotional regulation techniques are crucial when it comes to coping with trauma, managing intense emotions like panic and anxiety, and rebuilding a sense of safety and control.
Self-care involves deliberate actions to maintain physical and emotional health and is an essential part in rebuilding the loss of self-esteem/worth and confidence that can come as a consequence of experiencing any form of abuse or violence.
