Embodied Self Therapy
About this episode

In this episode of Healing CPTSD, join me as we delve into the pervasive sense of unsafety many individuals feel in today’s world. We explore the impact of global events, personal trauma, and systemic oppression on our sense of security. I'll also discuss the importance of cultivating an internal sense of safety, even when external environments feel threatening. Here, I highlight four key strategies: leaning into community care, connecting with the body, practicing self-compassion, and reconnecting with nature. This episode offers a raw, honest conversation designed to validate feelings and provide practical steps toward healing and resilience.


Topics explored:

  • Safety in the Global and Personal Context
  • Impact of Trauma and Systemic Oppression
  • Navigating Healing and Self-Worth
  • Systemic Challenges and Environmental Impact
  • Cultivating an Internal Sense of Safety
  • Practical Steps for Healing
