Grounding Strategies for Everyday Use (Tim Angel)

In this episode, guest Tim Angel, occupational therapist, lifestyle coach, and director of Ability Rehab and Bridge Rehab joins us for an in-depth exploration of grounding techniques. Tim unpacks how these strategies can be applied in clinical, lifestyle, and everyday settings to help reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and support decision-making. From sensory and cognitive methods to physical, emotional, and environmental approaches, he breaks down how to select the right strategies for different individuals, contexts, and levels of distress.Listeners will gain a clear understanding of how grounding can be tailored to personal needs, why proactive teaching is essential, and how reflection strengthens effectiveness over time. Tim shares a wealth of practical examples from school-based group activities to individualised toolkits, highlighting their flexibility and relevance across all ages and abilities. Whether used for calming intense moments, preventing overwhelm, or building self-regulation skills, these tools can make a meaningful difference in daily life.Looking for practical, flexible learning that goes beyond the podcast?The All Access Pass gives you unlimited entry to all of our self-paced online courses, early access to new content, exclusive member discounts, and our ever-growing library of downloadable resources, templates, and clinical tools.It’s all grounded in evidence-based, person-centred practice, designed to support you at your own pace, in real-world ways.Visit https://specialistbehaviour.com/all-access-pass/Questions, comments, feedback?
