Why ‘Feeling Safe’ is the Foundation of Healing: A Somatic Perspective

Most of us think healing is about ‘working through’ emotions. But true transformation only happens when the nervous system feels safe enough to change. If your body is stuck in fight, flight, or freeze, no amount of positive thinking will override it.

Somatic work teaches us how to create safety within—through breath, grounding, movement, and co-regulation. Feeling safe isn’t about avoiding discomfort, but about building the capacity to stay present with what arises, knowing we won’t be overwhelmed by it.

When we create safety in our bodies, we unlock the ability to heal, grow, and move forward.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, Your Calm Compass Coaching can help you gently reconnect with your body and create a foundation of safety for transformation. Learn more https://www.yogahealthandwellness.co.uk/
