Have you ever been in an environment where you feel unseen?
The world moves quickly, and it’s easy to feel unseen even when we’re surrounded by people. We may go about our day, but deep down, we know something is not right. Our body knows it best because it stores unprocessed emotions such as feeling unsafe, misunderstood, embarrassed, guilty, etc. We experience it in the form of feeling uneasy, anxiety, and an unbalanced nervous system. When such emotions are unprocessed, it is easy to feel overwhelmed, feel anxious, out of touch with ourselves, and sometimes sink into depression.
Sometimes, or most times, all we need is grounding, which happens when we are in touch with our emotions. The awareness brings our attention to the areas that need our support the most. We just need to sit with ourselves or get help and really go deep to investigate the parts of ourselves that need us.
I remember a time in my life when I felt neglected. I felt like nobody really cared about me. As a result, I isolated, and at some point, suicidal thoughts crept in. It was a long time ago, and I was able to overcome, but looking back, I realize that during this time, my inner child needed support. I needed external validation to feel loved, safe, and a sense of self-worth.
You see, these feelings were valid. It's okay to feel invisible, unsafe…because emotions are a compass that points us to the direction our support is needed. Without awareness, feeling neglected often leads to self-neglect. However, with awareness, we understand that this is the time to make ourselves a priority and empower ourselves without seeking external validation.
I created MySafespace to help people get in touch with themselves by sorting their emotions through talk therapy. Our team of listeners holds the space while guiding our beloved partners through internal exploration to find a grounding that provides safety. Here, you are not fixed or judged. You also don't have to perform. You get to be yourself as we explore parts that need more care, love, and safety. Our greatest joy stems from holding a space for our partners to heal and return to being themselves (free and happy).
Whatever you are carrying right now does not need to be held alone. You don’t have to solve everything in this moment. You don’t have to be fully ready. You just have to show up. And from there, we begin.
As always, love and light to you, my beloved reader.
