Sleepy after intense therapy

[The People]

Yup! And I find it to be the worst when it is the littles doing the worst. The location of my last T didn't help much but often I would take a time out before heading home. Grounding myself before driving.

Maybe have something tangy in your car to eat/drink before you drive? I have discovered of late that if I have sensory stuff going on a glass of cran grape juice has a positive effect on me. I cannot drink other flavours due to stomach issues and the acidity.

Something that I always tried to do as well is to spend the last few minutes just chatting, no matter how tough the mental workout was. It too is grounding. Talking about everyday stuff and giving internals the opportunity to shuffle around so that there is someone in control who feels in control - in a good way.
