 Hey, what's up you guys? Welcome back to my channel as you're new here. Hi. Hello. I'm Lydia and today we're talking about PTSD coping skills Before I get into the video, we have to do the t-shirt. You decide. I want this t-shirt So coping skill number one When you're having a flashback Grounding skills I hope I surround why is it not on my face? Thank you camera The best thing you can do is ground yourself. So Using a weighted blanket using Orbeez Using slime Using a puppet playing a game on your phone Read a book Anything you can do to ground yourself Is important have a cold shower. Number two be a try to be aware of your surroundings For me right now it'll be I'm in my flat. I can see See my Pants to vote. Oh, I can see My books. I can see my squishmallows. I can see My drawers. I can even see my table I can see part of my kitchen I can see outside But yeah, just knowing you're surrounding is important number three positive triggers Now I'm going to make a whole video talking about positive triggers, but if you know your positive triggers use them number four If you can document what you're experiencing right if you're next appointment So write it in a notebook, write it in your phone notes audio record it and number five If you're not alone, make sure the person that you're with knows your triggers Two years ago when I was at uni Like physically in uni I had a flashback and the person that was with me told me to open my eyes and hold their hands And then just sat there and breathed with me to join in out in out And that helped so much Make sure just make sure people know what what not to do in that situation because for me being touched generally is a trigger So someone was to touch my arm. I didn't make it worse So yeah, just make sure the people that you're around if you're comfortable with know what not to do So they don't make it worse And that's all I've got for this video and if you have any other tips leave them in the comments down below If you've got any video requests leave them in the comments down below And if you want to support the channel you can head over to my patreon Or use my playpad dot me link anything helps Thanks for watching this video and I'll see you guys on my next one
