Establishing more safety in your life…

1. Know your tendencies when you relate to the world, find out your needs, and values, and take steps to create boundaries so you can follow the feeling of safety. Know when you project, get triggered, want to hide away, shut off, open up to understanding how you work.

2. Check if you are in the right environment.
Environments conducive to having your needs met, where you can communicate, reciprocate, feel heard, and align with people that are compatible with your values, finding anywhere authenticity is accepted helps us to establish a feeling of safety.

3. Understand past finding safety in the physical sense and explore emotional safety. Go deeper into parts work, inner child care, rest, and access subconscious beliefs, blocks, and fears that might work against you now. Look into attachment theory. If you truly want to feel safe and seek change this won’t feel like too much.

If you need support book a session with me to uncover what’s in the subconscious.

4. When you know your unique ways to feel safe, implement it, embody it, self-soothe when needed, lean into people when needed, and take steps to break the cycle of how your triggers impact your life.

If your nervous system is wired to feel safe with old behaviours you need to rewire yourself and it takes work.

Living with PTSD I know the importance of safety, I know how long it can take, how hard it can be, and the stress involved in staying stuck at first is equal to changing, but it gets easier the more we know and allow ourselves to have new experiences…

And it’s never too late.

If you’ve ever seen videos/heard people skimming over safety, or using comments like “you need to be safe before you can experience it” and felt confused by this, it’s very multilayered, especially with cptsd so I’m here, you can work deeper on this with me…
