Safe Harbor:

​

We all need a safe space free of judgment where we can retreat during times of stress or difficulty. A safe harbor brings a chance to catch your breath and reflect on your situation and what you want to achieve.

​

 

The constant pressure of a difficult situation can wear us down, mentally and physically. A Safe Harbor is a sanctuary, an opportunity to pause, contemplate our circumstances, and ponder our aspirations.

​

 

Finding a Safe Harbor will help you see your situation without feeling rushed or under threat; it facilitates emotional regulation and contributes to feeling confident. In addition, being a Safe Harbor for others creates a space that enhances resilience, encourages open communication and self-expression, and leads to better decision-making. It fosters self-awareness, strengthens relationships, and aids in developing healthy coping mechanisms, ultimately promoting personal growth and development. If you begin to feel overwhelmed or stress is causing you distress this holiday season, take a moment to find a safe space, escape momentarily, and enjoy a period of peace. We all need to navigate to a safe harbor every once in a while!
