Safety Scan 

Sometimes we feel overwhelmed by sensations and thoughts. In those moments, it can be difficult to remember that we aren't in any real danger. But when we pause and notice our environment, we remind ourselves  that we are safe.

 

Practice

 

1. Slowly look around you and notice anything that makes you feel calm or safe. You might notice a soft texture, a smiling face, or your favorite color.

 

2. Focus on the items that make you feel calm and say to yourself, "I am safe."
