Discover how safety is the presence of choice, connection, and nervous system stability—not the absence of discomfort
Learn to listen to your body's yes and no signals, and map the sensations that guide you toward what feels right
Practice grounding exercises and create your own safety map that honors your history, culture, and lived experience
You deserve to rebuild safety on your own terms—and to trust the wisdom your body already holds.
This isn't about forcing yourself to "be safe" or pretending harm didn't happen. This is about learning to notice, honor, and rebuild the felt sense of safety—especially if trauma, systemic harm, or chronic invalidation taught you to disconnect from your body. This comprehensive workbook guides you through five foundational practices for exploring safety and self-trust through a somatic, culturally grounded lens. You'll move beyond external definitions of safety and learn to recognize the internal signals that tell you when something is or isn't right for you. With gentle somatic practices, reflection prompts, and trauma-informed guidance, you'll learn to: Redefine safety for yourself—honoring your culture, history, and nervous system's unique needs Map your body's yes and no signals, and notice where tension lives when safety is absent Practice grounding breath work and body-based inquiry that helps you come back to yourself Explore how self-trust is built through noticing, repairing, and choosing with care—not perfection Reclaim safety from systems that have harmed you, and identify what culturally grounded safety feels like Create your own personalized safety map—a visual guide to the people, places, practices, and inner resources that hold you Created with cultural and trauma-informed principles, this workbook meets you exactly where you are. Every practice honors your pace and acknowledges that safety is something we rebuild moment by moment, breath by breath—not something we force or perform.
