How can we build safe connections with others when we often don't even have a safe connection with ourselves?

In this episode, I interview a client, Camilla (pseudonym) who has disassociative identity disorder (meaning she has multiple sub-parts to her personality).

How has she learned to have a safe connection with herself, her subparts, let alone people around her?

Sometimes its just basic self-care (breathing, stretching, drinking plenty of water, getting good food and sleep). Other times it might be finding a safe person to listen a little to see if they react in a safe, non-judgmental way and then maybe share a bit more and a bit more, learning to build trust little by little.

What is a safe connection and how do we built them? That's a big topic but one that Camilla helps me explore with her own unique lense. It was helpful for me and I hope it will be for you as well.

Thanks for taking time to be curious about this latest episode and may you always channel compassionate thoughts, kind actions and curiosity in all things.
