Grounding Practice | Tools to Help Us Explore Mental Health

A Mental Health Check-in led by Dr. Samantha McGee

Every month as part of our commitment to wholeness and healing in our community, we will explore a new grounded practice. These practices becomes tools that we can reach for and practice with in order to move towards health in all facets of our lives.

1. Take a moment to consider your attachment styles? List some words that might describe your relationship with self, God, and others (ex. trusting, feeling attuned to, feeling afraid they would leave, feeling controlled, emotionally disconnected?) We will talk more about these when we meet, but just notice any patterns for now.

2. What does safety and attunement feel like to you, to feel uniquely known and seen and have repair? Do you have a strong inner compassionate/caring voice you can hear?

3. Do you have trouble setting limits/boundaries with yourself, time, and people around you? Where do you notice it in your body when unable or able to set a boundary? OR you can look at mindfulness practice. Do you have difficulty cultivating mindfulness practice? Where do you feel the most and least mindful in your life?
