Yes!
This one hit me a bit harder than I expected today. I think this is one of the biggest things I’ve learned in the past couple of years… SAFETY. The ability to feel safe and calm in my body, in my environment, in my decisions, and knowing how to set boundaries to protect that safety.
Often times, we replay events that have happened to us, relive experiences and talk through what happened to us in an attempt to move forward… however, as I’ve learned, we must learn how to feel safe again so we can truly set ourselves on the path to healing. I’ve done more healing in the past year, then I have done collectively over last 6 years because I’ve finally learned to feel safe. I’ve set myself up in an environment that protects my safety, and I’ve surrounded myself with a few select people who help me to fell safe (learning that not everyone deserves access, and not everyone is going to do harm).
My hope is that wherever you are in your healing journey, that you are working on feeling safe again (or feeling safe for the first time ever). And that you can learn to trust your safety.
