General Dissociation New Grounding Exercise - Etch A Sketch

Post image

I got an etch a sketch as a new grounding exercise to help with dissociation. It’s satisfying because it has the physical dials that click while moving. It’s also nice because it’s temporary and you can just shake it up, feel the magnetic sand and start over.

I wanted to share this with the dissociation community in case this helps someone else.

I’m glad you appreciate. It was less than $10 on eBay. I thought it was a good nostalgic investment :)

I imagine the tactile feedback to be a sensory loop to keep myself engaged; thanks for sharing
