Safety is the presence of connection.
‘Safety is not the absence of threat, but the presence of connection.’ — Gabor Mate
We are wired for connection. Feeling isolated & unsupported can actually be the root cause of your suffering, or what is perpetuating it.
Suffering is a part of the human experience, let’s not deny that. However you are able to meet challenging experiences with so much more capacity when you have connection and support networks available.
Feeling deeply connected to those around us is healing in itself. Finding a resonant therapist that can attune to you is life changing.
We all deserve this. We are wired to connect. It’s a dance between holding yourself & knowing when to be held. And this doesn’t always have to be other humans beings. The earth, the elements are unconditionally and always there to hold. Don’t forget that.
