FEELING SAFE:

~

One of the long-term effects of being in a dysfunctional environment
is that we don’t feel safe.

This can cause us to control, obsess, or focus on the other person,
while neglecting ourselves or shutting down our feelings.

We can learn to make ourselves feel safe and comfortable, as part of
a nurturing, loving, attitude toward ourselves.

Sometimes, we get a feeling of safety and comfort when we attend
Twelve Step meetings or support groups. Being with a friend or
doing something nice for ourselves helps us feel protected and loved.
Reaching out to another person can help us feel safe. Often, prayer
and meditation can help us affirm that our Higher Power cares for
us.

We are safe now. We can relax. Perhaps others haven’t been there
for us in a consistent, trustworthy way, but we are learning to be
there for ourselves.
