Step 1 -Building Safety Within

Building Resourcing & Nervous System Foundations

Step 1 focuses on helping you identify safety and begin building personal resources. Before deeper regulation work begins, your nervous system needs orientation, clarity, and steady support. Safety can come from memory, imagery or environment.You can “borrow” safety from memories, imagination, environment, or sensation.You regulate better when you feel supported—internally or externally.

In this phase, you will:

• Learn the core concepts of how your nervous system works
• Understand survival states and cumulative stress
• Identify what signals safety for you personally
• Begin mapping internal and external resources
• Practise simple somatic tools that support steadiness

Step 1 creates the conditions that make regulation possible.

A Safe & Special Place

This guided meditation supports the creation of an internal safety resource.

You will visualise a calm and supportive environment — real or imagined — and anchor that experience through sensory awareness.

Repeated experiences of safety begin to soften threat activation and widen your window of tolerance.

Use this practice whenever grounding or reassurance is needed.

Six short, repeatable somatic practices designed to support settling when activation rises or when shutdown occurs. These include:

1.Alternate Nostril Breathing.

2. Nervous System Tapping.

3.Rocking /Swaying.

4.Grounding

5.Gentle Marching

6.Spinal Rolls
