    A therapist wouldn’t dismiss what you’re going through like this.

    Depending on the goal both of you established for this problem, you could either use some kind of grounding techniques to bring you out of your head, use talk therapy to figure out why you are in your head (possibly trauma), or figure out if things like sleeping, exercising, or eating better would help you.

        No, the opposite. When someone says “you are in your head” it means you aren’t present or you are away from reality. Grounding just means it allows you to focus.

        Grounding is going to depend on the person. Some people workout, some people use all their senses in their environment.

        Therapy can be too expensive for some people so they harm themselves. This is also a grounding technique and isn’t healthy.
