Hello from Florida! I recently discovered your channel. As an African American male, just wanted to say great work on your channel. Cheers.

My trauma therapist has been trying to get me to connect to this feeling of being cared for. I realised, at some point in my childhood, I stopped letting any care in as a self-preservation/defence mechanism. I don’t think people realise how challenging it can be for those of us who were severely neglected and/or abused in our childhood to feel connected to nurturing feelings. It’s like a blindness and when I try to imagine feeling cared for, there’s a complete blank there. Logically I know I’m loved by people who are in my life but I just can’t feel it. I loved the tip in this video about trying to connect to the feeling we experience when caring for others instead. I’m a very caring person, so maybe this will be a way in for me. Thank you!

I plan on watching this later. The thought of EMDR terrifies me because dissociation is my safe place. However, the longer I go with only tackling my trauma part way, the worse it gets. My recovery ebbs and flows but never really feels like it’s going anywhere. Thanks for covering this topic, Kati.

Although I believe the people I have worked with had good intentions, it would have been so beneficial to understand what installing resources was. I kept asking for 'a thing to help me' without realising what I wanted or why just talking wasn't doing much. Thank you very much for this, it is validating to know some part of me knows what is right for me and that I actually asked for it, even if I didn't understand why I needed resources to call upon or what they were!

The space/place that came up for me for a safe or no-conflict/neutral zone was sitting in the shower, which was both surprising and made sense for me. I've actually had showers come up multiple times in the past as having a feeling of serenity? It's tied with this natural sitting position I'd been doing since I was a kid, part of which is crossing my arms on my knees and laying my head on them, which made a sort of private space to get some distance from the overwhelm outside. Rather than the way I'd thought security should feel, this feels much more like, the words that came up are private and calm. I feel very happy that I've now got this way of installing some resources, I'm going to expand resources of peace, space, power/competency, warmth! I also noticed that when I was following along, that I really felt what I needed as I went, which was to rewind, ground more, move/stand and take a minute, pause, and especially felt that Instinct really controlled when I tapped and didn't tap. I feel that experience has made me feel more comfortable trusting my body to be a benevolent thing in my life, which is honestly relieving just due to how much betrayal trauma I've had happen, including on a direct body level, which I think my feelings on what happened in relation to *my* body is that the betrayal wasn't my body against me, its more like, my body *and* I were betrayed by someone else, so we're sort of fellow survivors?

The first person that came to my mind when thinking of who could be my nurturing person is my former highschool teacher, who was always so caring for everyone and just had the vibe of a great mother. When thinking about her nurturing me, I kind of get sad and miss her and long for that relationship back. Is this a good idea to think of her as a nurturing figure if it just makes me crave for her, even though I know I am not going to have that relationship?

Thanks Katy and Alexa. I watched part of this clip last night and found it helpful. I liked the part about finding the safe spot whether it's a safe place or a neutral place or it could be playing a musical instrument. Personally, I do adult dot-to-dot because it improves my drawing skills and reflexes. I also listen to Michael Sealey on KZbin!

Can you change your "safe place" that was installed for EMDR? Would it be strange to ask my therapist to re-do it? Does that make sense? We installed my safe place over a year ago and I feel like though it is a safe place, I need something a bit different for what I am now working through.
