Characteristics of a felt sense of safety
Trauma resolution, identity integration and nervous system regulation work have so many benefits! I sometimes have to pinch myself when I see some huge results with clients.
Here is a short list of what it means to feel safe in your body.
If you have embodied some of this work yourself, feel free to add to this list in the comments. โบ๏ธ

The body is always looking for homeostasis. Once this state is shown through co-regulation, in a skilled way, it โdrinksโ it fully and it knows how to come back to it again and again.
This work brings your body back into its natural flow.
