Anti-dissociation drill

Orienting Statement

For that floaty, unreal feeling. Stating simple facts about who and where you are retrieves the brain's “right now” map.

Fill in the blanks, then read the full sentence aloud three times — slowly. This is the most effective drill for pulling yourself out of the “this isn't real” feeling.

Say aloud, slowly

My name is ___. I am in ___. I am safe right now.

Add your name + location above to finish the sentence.
