About this tool

Five Senses Grounding gives you one short exercise that brings attention back to the room. Pick the one you like: name five things you can see, four things you can touch, three sounds, two smells or one taste.

Grounding is a common technique used alongside breathing. It is not a treatment, and it does not replace professional support. If you feel unsafe or overwhelmed for long, reach out to someone you trust or a professional.
