Focus This Module’s Reflection on Safety
Use the same simple reflection rhythm introduced in Module 1: notice your important realizations, choose a baby step, and calibrate how possible it feels without forcing yourself. Then bring this module’s distinctive questions to the foreground.
Where does your Primitive Brain feel unsafe now? Name the situation, action, relationship, or body response as specifically as you can.
What are three things that could help it feel safer? Consider present-time information, a smaller step, skill or preparation, support from another person, a boundary, nourishment, rest, tapping, or a clearer way to stop if needed.
Choose one next step that can be done in two minutes or less. It may be the same step you have been working with; repetition can build trust.
Complete the invitation:
I invite my Primitive Brain to notice…
Let the sentence point toward something true now: support, choice, resilience, an available resource, a changed circumstance, or the fact that you are listening. This is not a command to feel safe. It is an offer of information.
