Safety is the largest part of true healing. We need to have physical, emotional, and psychological safety in order to establish a sense of self-regulation prior to being able to do a deep dive into trauma healing.

Awareness:
To start off being able to identify what safety looks like for you is key! — Naming past experiences where you felt seen, heard and valued would be a good start to unpack the meaning of safety for you.

Setting boundaries is a great next step. —- How can you voice your needs to those around you?

Challenges:
A challenge that can present for you within this work can be this cognitive dissonance that you’re undeserving of safety. This will be a helpful belief to unpack with a trusted professional to gain some understanding and validation on this fact.
