Somethings that help me ground, are being in nature if you are able. I know sometimes PTSD comes on quickly and being able to go outside isn’t always an option. If it’s not an option I will (as strange as it may sound) sit or lay on the floor.

There are times that the images/memories flood me, and lying in bed, where I feel safe is good until I can focus on my breathing.

Sometimes I loose myself in art or writing, other times I allow the wave of emotions to run through me and cry it all out.
