Ep 158: Felt Safety After Trauma: Why You Can’t Heal Without It
What happens when the world tells you that you need “safety” to heal from trauma, but your life after leaving abuse still feels anything but safe?
We’re talking about felt safety—what it is, why it matters, and how to begin creating moments of it even when post-separation abuse is ongoing.
Sybil talks about:
- The difference between actual safety and felt safety
- Why most trauma therapies rely on safety as a starting point, and what to do when that’s not your reality
- How felt safety helps your nervous system shift out of survival mode, even in tiny doses
- Tools for creating micro-moments of safety in your body, relationships, and environment
- Why your child’s behavior may be linked to their sense of safety—and how to foster it, even when co-parenting with someone who is harmful
Drawing on the work of trauma and attachment expert Robyn Gobbel, we explore how felt safety unlocks the door to healing, and how you can offer that gift to yourself and your children starting today.
Whether you're in the thick of court battles, navigating scary transitions, or just feeling stuck in survival mode—this episode is here to remind you: you don’t have to wait to be “safe” to start healing.
