Safe experience with our feelings and emotions are meant to move with us. Safe experiences actually influence and shape our relationship with our own emotions and sensations.
If we have always kept a difficult feeling or experience with us then we are used to being alone and holding everything in. A feeling that is held in never gets the opportunity to have a new experience of being held, supported, or loved.
When we do open up and share while someone is present with us we may notice more ease, settling, and grounding. We may think that this is an isolated instance but it is actually an experience that we can keep resourcing. We can recall their embrace, presence, care, and support. We can bring this forward into a moment where we feel stressed, anxious, and afraid. We can notice if this support brings us toward our body, leads to more settling, feeling less alone, or a little more grounded and stable.
When you move through an experience of safety let it move forward with you. Notice if this influences how you show up for yourself in the future. Often times a moment of connection can allow us to feel more grounded and connected in future instances of stress and overwhelm.
