🎙 Ep 22 - You Can’t Heal What You Can’t Feel: And You Can’t Feel Without This One Thing
Reclaim Within Podcast | Hosted by Ash Brouwer
In This Episode:
What does it really mean to feel safe? Not just in theory, but in the nervous system, in the breath, in the bones.
In today’s episode, Ash explores the sacred ground of felt safety , why it matters, how it’s often misunderstood, and what it takes to both experience and offer safe space in a world that often confuses control with care.
This is a love letter to the nervous system, and a reminder that healing only blooms where safety is real + embodied.
We explore:
✨ Why safety is a felt experience, not a concept
✨ The trap of “familiar hell” + how it tricks the nervous system
✨ How false safety takes away agency, even with good intentions
✨ What it really takes to hold safe space for another
✨ The sacred interdependence of being held while holding others
✨ Why integration requires trust + true belonging
✨ A reflection for anyone seeking or offering transformation
Reflection Questions:
Do I feel safe in my body, in this space, in this relationship?
Am I being lovingly held in my own growth?
Who are the mirrors that help me see what I can’t yet see?
