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.
