Healing Trauma 2: Safety In The Present Moment

In healing trauma, we are working with overwhelming experiences that were stored in our body as sensations and energy along with associated traumatic memories.

Why do we need to be in this moment? Because right here, in this moment, the danger that we're feeling in sensation and perhaps in flashbacks and in memories is not happening right now. It's happened in the past and our body is recalling it.

We do several regulating practices in this talk to help our nervous system and body. We look around the room. We feel our feet and seat. We build confidence that we can use these practices to experience being grounded in the present where we are safe.

💚Great new tools that I am excited to try out! 🙏

Really useful, thank you. I have a family member who could have been a place of safety to me and wasn’t, for many reasons, and they are dying. I am trying to support them and my other family members and am finding it really stressful and quite painful but I will try to remember this practice to come back to safety. Thank you 🙏🏻
