Creating Safety Part 2: When It Feels Like You Don’t Have Any Choices

Safety is something we all crave, but often, it’s more about perception than reality. You might feel like you're stuck in a job, a relationship, or a situation, thinking you have no other options. But the truth is, most of the time, we have more choices than we believe. The key is challenging the beliefs and truths we've accepted for too long.

When you feel powerless, it’s easy to believe there are no options. But often, the real issue is that you've stopped looking for them. Shifting your perspective to see yourself as capable and deserving opens the door to possibilities you never imagined.

In the end, safety begins with us. It starts by questioning our beliefs and choosing to see the possibilities we haven't noticed yet. We may face challenges, but the power to change and create the life we want is always in our hands. We just need to believe it.

In this episode, we will challenge limiting beliefs around safety and choice, and explore how reframing these thoughts can open up new possibilities for healing and growth. I share how breaking free from these thoughts helped me and my clients uncover new possibilities. It’s time to reframe those "facts" that hold us back and start making empowered choices.
