When you're in fight-or-flight, slow grounding feels like a cage. The technique that works depends entirely on the state you're in — and most coping skill decks ignore this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThese 48 cards are organized differently. Each one is mapped to one of the three autonomic states described by Stephen Porges (2011, 2017) and Deb Dana (2018): \u003cstrong\u003eventral vagal\u003c\/strong\u003e (safety and connection), \u003cstrong\u003esympathetic\u003c\/strong\u003e (mobilization, fight-or-flight), and \u003cstrong\u003edorsal vagal\u003c\/strong\u003e (shutdown, freeze, dissociation).
