Feeling Safe & Standing Strong
Feeling tense, reactive, overwhelmed, or like you’re carrying more than you need to? Feeling Safe Standing Strong is about the small things that can help us feel safer, steadier and more able to navigate the messy business of being human.
If you’re looking for practical, plain English ways to understand your nervous system, have kinder and clearer conversations with yourself and others, and feel a little more settled in your own skin, you’re in the right place.
Each episode brings together body-based practices, real conversations and simple frameworks you can actually use in the moments that matter. At work. At home. In relationships. When a conversation gets hard. When the day gets heavy. Or in those quiet moments when you simply need to come back to yourself.
No jargon. No pressure. Nothing that requires a psychology degree to understand.
These aren’t tools you have to master. They’re small things to notice, practise and return to. And the more familiar they become, the more likely they are to show up when you need them.
Hosted by Bronwyn Clee, Trauma Responsive Psychosocial Coach and Educator and Co-Founder of The Institute of Hope, in partnership with Protective Behaviours International.
Full transcripts available.
Take what helps. Leave what doesn’t. And come back whenever you need.
Feeling Safe & Standing Strong
Standing Strong in Our Values
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When we’re clear on what we stand for, we can handle challenges with more steadiness. In this episode, we explore how values act as anchors for safety and why living in alignment with them, strengthens trust and confidence.
Ownership of our choices helps build safety for ourselves and others.
Somatic Practices in this episode:
- Values Walk — walking slowly while repeating a chosen value to yourself.
- Body Compass Check — noticing how your body reacts when you imagine different choices.
(You’ll be guided through these in the episode, with options for sitting quietly or moving around.)
