Course overview
Lesson Overview
5.5 – The 5-4-3-2-1 Method for Emotional Regulation: This grounding method uses your five senses to bring you back to the present. Start by naming five things you can see, four you can touch, three you can hear, two you can smell, and one you can taste. Doing this helps your brain shift away from panic or craving. It’s quick, quiet, and works anywhere. Use it during arguments, anxiety spikes, or sudden urges. Practicing often makes it easier to use under pressure. Each round strengthens the link between awareness and calm. The 5-4-3-2-1 method turns chaos into focus in under a minute.
