"'Coping strategies'...'grounding techniques'...the 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, game! Name five things you can see.

I see trees of green, red roses too.

I see them bloom, for me and you...

...I see skies of blue, and clouds of white,

the bright blessed day, and dark sacred night

and I think to myself,

'What a wonderful world!'"

Hello everyone. My name is Ken. They say it's not good to spend all day thinking about DPDR, but I'm excited to meet you all anyway. I like the advice I have read very much.

I was recently taught this by my therapist, it actually works very well when I REMEMBER to use it. Good info!
