_Not going to lie, once you said I had to leave I burst into tears. I’ve never had even a mental space for myself and right when I accepted that this was it; it was over. I’ve been crying for ten minutes now and though I know this is old, thank you for helping me find a moment of peace._
I feel nice after listening to this. I picture my safe place as a consultation room in an old building, with wooden furnishings and a fireplace. Probably not what most therapists' rooms are like, I know 😁 But I feel safe there, because it's a place where I can let my breath out (no pun intended!)
This video is so insanely helpful! Have you ever thought of making a meditative exercise like this that is more long form? A 20-30 minute video just like this would be the best!
this helped so much. i was having a mental breakdown and feeling terrible. it all stopped when i imagined my safe place: i was sitting, legs crossed on a cloud, more like series of clouds in the sky. there was no ground, it was just a purple/dark blue galaxy at night. the only thing visible were the clouds i was sitting on, the purple ness of the galaxy, the stars everywhere and the beautiful white, big moon. thank you so much, really.
Thanks so much for posting this!! My trauma therapist has been doing this with me, and I've been tempted to ask her if I can record it the next time we do it bc I've had a lot of trouble doing this by myself when I'm super stressed. Then I realized there may be an app - well I have tried 4 and no luck, then TH-cam but most of them had intros or music that were really distracting. I was so relieved when I found this one!! 👍 You do a great time with the pauses as well - I noticed some of the other people went way too fast which just made me more anxious. 😅 This is such a powerful exercise and has been an incredibly beneficial tool for me. 💕
I'm really pleased you found this helpful. It's such a powerful exercise for calming the amygdala after trauma. I wish you all the best with the work you are doing with your therapist. Best wishes, Teresa.
Thank you so much for this meditation. I have been going through a series of difficult life changes & difficult emotions - this meditation provided relief.
I totally feel you 🫶 it can take a while to actually feel "safe" when we might not have ever felt truly safe. maybe try for a soothing place first and try not to judge yourself. keep trying!
How are you? Tell me how you feel after watching this video. I'd love to hear from you.
This is softly paced, warm and nurturing.
I feel relaxed and safe. Thank you.

My issue is, no place feels safe when the stuff in my head follows me there... 😢
