Let’s create a safe space for the difficult feelings, thoughts, sensations and emotions that may arise after physical or emotional trauma. I invite you to:
:: Journal during or after each of Sara’s sessions. What can you relate to?
:: Ask your body for consent; talk with your body before you do things in daily life. How does your embodied ‘YES’ and ‘NO’ feel? When you feel ready, try using the body scan to gently access safe and simple sensations of pleasure in your daily life. Let your body teach you what it needs to feel safe. Take this exploration slowly.
:: Give yourself permission to redesign your inner world in your own way.
:: Notice areas of your body that seek your support. How can you hold this part of yourself with loving kindness?

- Where there is resistance and fear, there is a space for me to get curious
- I am learning to hold myself, support myself through tender moments
- I trust my body to feel through these changes

For further support you may look for a Somatic Experiencing Therapist, or any health professional who you feel safey and trust with to explore body scanning. Sitting quietly with yourself is an age-old practice, you could look into a Vedic Meditation approach to releasing clutter and trauma patterns if you seek more on this.
Keep exploring your body scanning and trust yourself—you know you best.
The answers you seek, are inside of you.
