Questions from your nervous system, answered with care

FAQ

What is The Grounding Deck?

The Grounding Deck is a nervous system tool. It mirrors the emotional part of you that is activated, overwhelmed, or unsure — and gives you something gentle to do with it. Each card includes a mantra, a body-based ritual, and a journal prompt. It is not about healing. It is about noticing, tending, and returning to yourself.

Who is this for?

This deck was made for people who feel deeply and often silently.For the boundary-holders. The overthinkers. The shutdown ones.For survivors of trauma. For the ones who never got a manual.If you freeze instead of fight. If you mask to feel safe. If you forget what your body feels like.This is for you.

How does the postcard work?

You take a short quiz that helps identify which emotional part of you is most activated right now. We print your matched card as a 4x6 soft-touch postcard and mail it to your door. It includes your specific mantra, ritual, and reflection prompt — chosen for this moment in your life.

Is this like an affirmation deck?

Is this deck trauma-informed?

Yes. It was created by a trauma survivor who knows what it feels like to freeze, mask, and dissociate. Every card is written to be safe, clear, and empowering. You will never be told to "try harder" or "just let go." You are allowed to take your time.

Is this a product or a practice?
