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.
