Feeling Safe & Standing Strong
The Weight of Unspoken Conflict
Few things feel heavier than the conflict we don’t know how to talk about. In this episode, we explore the impact of silence on our safety and well-being, and how carrying unspoken tension shows up in our bodies.
We connect this with Universal Protective Behaviours, especially the reminder that safety includes having safe ways to speak up.
Somatic Practices in this episode:
- Lion’s Breath — a strong exhale to release held tension.
- Silent Mirror Practice — sitting with yourself or a trusted other in quiet reflection.
(You’ll be guided through these in the episode, with options whether you’re sitting still or moving.)
