Adapted from the brilliant Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) therapist Dr Russ Harris's 'Dropping Anchor' exercise. This tool guides people through an emotional storm using grounding techniques, tuning into emotions and connecting with bodily sensations. For people familiar with ACT, this exercise provides a visual and reflective element to learn skills to stay anchored during heightened emotions.
 
Please note, this tool is not intended to replace therapy or be used as a stand alone treatment. It is encouraged for users to do training and research into ACT therapy prior to implementing with clients.
