Decompression + Grounding Cards

The Decompression + Grounding Card Deck is a thoughtfully designed set of 52 trauma-informed regulation skills created to help calm the nervous system, reduce overwhelm, and build emotional resilience.

Developed by clinician Toni Miller of Miller Counseling & Consultation, this deck offers practical, accessible tools that can be used in moments of stress, emotional activation, or daily grounding practice.

Each card contains a clear, concise skill designed to support:

• Nervous system regulation

• Grounding during anxiety or distress

• Emotional stabilization

• Trauma recovery work

• Daily self-care routines

These cards are appropriate for individuals, therapists, group facilitators, and anyone seeking structured, evidence-informed coping tools.

Whether pulled intentionally or chosen intuitively, each card offers a simple, actionable strategy to help shift from survival mode into a state of greater safety and regulation.

This deck is not a substitute for therapy, but a supportive companion for nervous system care and trauma-informed practice.
