Creating safe environments? What does that mean? This goes beyond physical safety.
In this week’s episode we delve into emotional safety. When we live our life believing some version of, “I’m not good enough,” we are living in a constant state of threat. This is problematic because threat works against the brain putting us into a survival state unable to access logical thinking skills. Without our logical thinking skills online we are apt to react in ways that do not feel good and don’t feel safe to those around us.
Takeaways to creating safe environments:
· Emotional awareness and regulation
· The Practice of going inward through deep breathing (which can be done anywhere, anytime), meditation, just sitting quietly and noticing what your body feels like.
· Noticing your thoughts without getting lost in them. Or noticing when you get lost in them and coming back to the present moment.
· Noticing your internal state when others express emotion or when something upsetting happens.
· Self-compassion. Talking kindly to yourself and all your emotions and internal parts, such as the inner critic, shame, anger and other feelings, as well as joy, excitement, etc.
