The Essentials: How To Feel Emotionally Safe Again - Part One

[@kristinmeyer489]

7:02 I bristle with the simplicity of this. Safety is BOTH internal feelings AND environment. Test this by bringing a picnic out in bear country, where wild animals will be even more brutal than humans gang stalking you for a psychological joyride on your life, health, and personal safety.

@kristinmeyer489 - Your feelings about my view make sense and speak to your unmet needs for protection and shelter. I hold care for that pain and what you've gone through

@@healyourcodependency Thank you. Appreciated.

I didn't realize until recently that I actually feel unsafe with most individuals with regard to rejection. The emotional response is so overwhelming that I bottle it up and overanalyze the situation to the point of mental exhaustion.

[@healyourcodependency]

Holding that deep need for safety in care as you explore it. It is a complex work you're doing there.

Wonder if this is why I anticipate everyone’s needs before the other person even knows. I do things to meet their needs so that I can feel safe. If their needs aren’t met they will abuse and neglect me (that’s what my nervous system thinks)

[@healyourcodependency]

Yes. It equals safety for you at the moment. That's a big awareness!

I got the answer to that question doing the 16 personality test!

I would feel so unsafe in the world and in my body I didnt feel safe to even feel emotions. I just braced my body so tightly. And not sure how to start unravelingthe tight grip?

[@healyourcodependency]

I started with giving my body permission to be as tight as it needed to be. This helped it feel safe to release a bit. Then I learned how to regulate. You can start that here: becalm.freetheself.com

I am literally afraid of allowing Emotional Safety.

[@healyourcodependency]

Right? It is an intense thing to allow. I recommend starting with learning to ease that anxiety. You can start that with the Daily Regulation Practice here: drp.freetheself.com
