While each insecure attachment style has its own limiting beliefs, there’s one core wound that tends to show up strongly across the board: I Am Unsafe.

For people with anxious preoccupied, dismissive avoidant and fearful avoidant attachment styles, the deeply held belief that they are in some way unsafe can lead to a lack of connection, both to themselves and to others.

Our core wounds show up in our thoughts and language, our actions and behaviour.

I Am Unsafe Thoughts & Language:

• I will defend myself
• I will fight back
• I am afraid
• Fight, flight, freeze, fawn reflected in language

I Am Unsafe Actions & Behaviour:

• Flight, flight, freeze, fawn
• Isolating
• Controlling
• OCD tendencies
• Poor boundaries
• Panicked behaviours & attitude
• Expressing worry often
• Discussing & preparing for worst-case
• Controlling others’ safety

I was inspired to create this event specifically around the core wound I Am Unsafe after seeing a pattern emerging in my Reconditioning Core Wounds events. The people with the strongest I Am Unsafe core wound tend to be the ones who’ve read the most self-development books and attended the most events in a bid to address their ‘stuff’. However, they are also the most dysregulated.

If you’re working with a deeply dysregulated nervous system – whether you favour fight, flight, freeze or fawn – the lack of safety you feel in your body can sabotage your efforts to recondition your core wounds. You may struggle to work through even the simplest of reconditioning tools because, even though you know intellectually that you’re safe, your body is responding to long-held, subconscious beliefs that you are under immediate threat.

In this I Am Unsafe event we combine a number of grounding practices to begin to create safety in our bodies, all the way down to those subconscious layers where our core wounds are held.

Join me on Friday May10th 6:30-80:30PM for a 2-hour event to recondition the core wound I Am Unsafe in an embodied way. Practices will include: restorative yoga, energy healing and yoga nidra.

When: Friiday May 10th 6:30-8:30PM
