I had to do 'a safe place' for visualization in counseling years ago. My counselor wanted me to be able to hand over myself as a little kid to someone for safe watching while I was an adult. For me, that was my best friend. I have watched her take care of her kids and other kids with loving kindness for 20 years now. So, I would in my mind let my best friend watch myself as a child while I went out and did adult things. It helped. Her house was a safe place for little kids. It was often for me too.
Is there someone you know who you feel safe around? |
