Recommendations for safe sensory or fidget tools?
I’m working with my DBT provider on harm reduction and want to identify safe alternatives to past damaging behaviors. In addition to their input, I’m looking for non-damaging fidget or sensory tools that provide a pain-like or pressure sensation. In the past, tattoos have somewhat served this role for me but those are permanent (and I’m running out of room).
I’m not looking for descriptions of past self-harm.
I’m seeking safe, immediate options to bring to therapy, for example, links to tools others have found to be safe, preventative alternatives, as I’m working with my provider to address this underlying self-punishment mindset.
Thanks & be well 🤍
