Felt Security: Building it in Yourself and Others

Felt Security: Building it in yourself and others This presentation explains how felt security develops in childhood as well as discusses different ways that trauma can affect felt security.

The goals of the presentation are to help the audience understand that felt security is interior and personal to each body regardless of the experiences in the present moment. Felt security is built through repeated patterns of noticing a human need and meeting the need. Felt security cannot be built without discomfort and risk taking.
