Discomfort vs Danger - Safe ENOUGH Spaces

This week we’re going to dive into how discomfort doesn’t always mean danger. We’ll also explore how we need not look for guarantees of complete safety - because nothing can guarantee 100% safety and comfort for everyone. You’ll also learn about some ways we can practice stepping INTO discomfort when we’ve found our safe enough space.

You will learn:

// Why there’s no such things as 100% safe

// The trap of equating comfort with safety

// The difference between discomfort and true danger

// How to use “safe enough” to step into discomfort for the good of our close relationships as well as the world around us

// 6 ways we can make our spaces “safe enough”

// 5 questions we can ask ourselves to gauge the safety of a situation and differentiate discomfort from true danger

//How the ultimate safety is within us
