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.

A nervous-system–informed way to track real healing

Healing from trauma doesn’t follow a straight line — and progress isn’t always visible on the surface. This Trauma Recovery Outcome Toolkit was created to help you notice real change, even when it feels subtle or hard to name.

Unlike symptom checklists or diagnostic measures, these tools focus on safety, regulation, self-trust, and capacity — the foundations of trauma healing.

This downloadable toolkit helps you:

• Track progress without shame or pressure

• Understand your nervous system responses

• Notice increased regulation, safety, and choice

• Build self-trust and compassion over time

• See growth even during difficult phases of therapy

These tools are designed to be used alongside therapy or independently, at your own pace. There are no “right” scores — only information that supports healing.
