From the article: Grounding Exercises
Most people with borderline personality disorder (BPD) can benefit from having one or two grounding tools in their coping repertoire. Do you have a particular grounding tool that works for you? When do you know you need to use grounding tools?

I like the idea of tactile things--usng fragrances, or mints, rubber bands or a shower, even washing my hands to ground myself. Spraying perfume is my favorite because it feels so good.
