    So I’m seriously thinking of doing monthly give aways on the site. If you could win a dissociative care package, what would you want in it? A book? A stuffie?

    Aww, I love this idea <3 I think journals and stuffies are a great idea, I also think self-help books could be a good thing to include as well. Maybe even coloring books for little alters? Honestly, anything y’all put in would be nice 🙂

    I’m thinking a typical package would have a stuffie, a box of 64 crayons, a couple of coloring books, a self help book or two, and a journal… plus a short hand written note. I’ll look into WordPress giveaway plugins this weekend. 🙂

    Important question though – what self help books do people recommend/want?

      My therapist recommended The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk to us once! We haven’t ever read it, but I’ve seen others on tiktok speak highly of it as well.

    Grounding tools like sour candies, mints, ice packs, coloring books, magazines (particularly one like Breathe magazine with tips for self care, scented things, fidgets (there are tons).
