I also feel that way,the stutter effect when its triggerring,cant explain the anxiousness to others.its so random.

Something that helps me is to focus on my senses to try to get back in touch with my body. A friend once told me to count backwards from five using my senses. Like, what are five colors I see, four things I can touch, three things I hear, two things I smell and one thing I taste? That works for me sometimes, but I need to go slowly and I usually need to do it several times.

I also keep a smooth stone in my pocket that I hold/turn over in my hand when I feel dissociated. I wrote a centering phrase on it that read to myself over and over. That helps bring me back eventually, too, sometimes.

I hope you find something that helps you.

Thank you for your suggestions. I really like the one about having a stone with something written on it.
