At the heart of Transactional Analysis (TA) lies a powerful concept—life scripts. These unconscious life plans are formed in childhood, shaped by early decisions, interactions with caregivers, and the messages we absorb from our environment. Script analysis helps us bring these underlying narratives to light and offers a path to rewrite the limiting beliefs we’ve carried for years.
Grounding is a powerful technique to help you reconnect with the present moment, especially when feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected. By focusing on your senses, you can calm your mind and body, reduce stress, and regain a sense of control.
In this exercise, you’ll use your five senses—sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste—to anchor yourself in the here and now.
When to Use This Technique:
- During moments of stress or anxiety.
- When experiencing intrusive thoughts.
- To create a sense of calm in a busy day.
