59. Safety

Embodied Self Therapy
About this episode

In this episode, we’re exploring one of the most essential pieces of trauma recovery: safety.

Safety is so much more than the absence of threat. Through a trauma-informed lens, it’s about connection, choice, and regulation. Together, we’ll unpack what safety really means, why it’s so central to healing, and how trauma reshapes our ability to sense when we are safe.

I’ll guide you through concepts like neuroception and polyvagal theory, and share practical tools you can use to cultivate a deeper sense of safety — both within yourself and in your relationships. From body cues and rituals to boundary-setting, this conversation is all about reclaiming safety as a foundation for growth and healing.
