Individualized Repertoire
The plan organizes strategies the client identifies as usable for their own likely distress states.
Grounding Plan
The Grounding Plan is a ready-to-send tool for practitioners supporting clients with trauma and substance-use concerns who become overwhelmed, dissociated, triggered, or emotionally dysregulated outside session. It helps the client identify likely distress states, concrete grounding strategies they believe they can use, and later feedback on what worked in real situations.

Use this background section to understand when the tool fits, how practitioners use it, and what to consider before sharing it with clients.
Present-Moment Focus
The plan supports present-moment stabilization and does not prompt deeper trauma processing.
Review in Real Situations
Later review can record whether strategies were used, helped, did not help, or need revision when the client reports that feedback.
Does the Grounding Plan provide a technique library?
No. The supplied specification supports an individualized repertoire, not a fixed library of grounding techniques.
Does it ask for trauma narratives?
No. The plan focuses on present-moment stabilization and does not collect deeper trauma-processing content.
Can a vague strategy be revised?
Yes. Strategies that are too vague or not usable can be marked for revision while history is preserved.
What is saved into my account?
The fixed Grounding Plan tool is saved. Fictional distress states, sample strategies, and demo feedback are not saved as real client data.
