Trauma-Informed Safety
Restoring the Body's Peace
You are in control. If this feels too heavy, or if you begin to feel overwhelmed, you are allowed to stop. Take a break, drink some water, and return only when you feel ready.
Safe Place Visualization
Step 1
Close your eyes and imagine a place where you feel completely at peace—real or imaginary.
Step 2
What do you see? Notice the colors, the lighting, and the objects around you.
Step 3
Notice the sounds or the silence. Notice the temperature of the air on your skin.
Step 4
Give this place a name. When you feel distressed later, whisper that name to anchor yourself.
