85. I am safe & I am protected.
The concept of “safety” is complex and multifaceted.
Once you’ve experienced trauma, your brain and body can stay hypervigilant and on guard, continually telling you the story that you are not safe.
Your brain wants you to stay alert and aware of the potential for future danger. This is your brain’s way of trying to keep you safe.
But, what happens when we stay in this mode, day after day, year after year, even once there is no imminent threat to our wellbeing? Or what if the unsafe situations that we *do* face, are not life threatening in nature?
The short answer is that it diminishes our quality of life, doesn’t it?
It can feel like our bodies are trapped in an endless loop of fear. It doesn’t FEEL like our bodies are trying to keep us safe…it feels horrendous. It feels like our body’s trauma response is keeping us stuck in the trauma.
This week on the Art That Overcomes podcast we are exploring the mantra:
I am safe and I am protected.
