Experiencing low self-esteem and (perceived) emotional weakness are two of the most common difficulties that I see in my counseling clients. In particular, almost all of my female clients report that they at least experience some instances of low self-esteem or lacking strength within themselves. Most of them have these feelings on a regular basis.

We all get “stuck in our heads” from time to time. Over-thinking, analysis paralysis, rumination all can easily take over our mental space when we aren’t paying attention. Grounding is the act or practice of bringing your awareness back into the physical world. Basically, it takes your attention out of your thoughts and emotions and refocuses it on your body and the world around you. These types of exercises help you become more present in your life.
