"In the midst of feeling overwhelmed with stress, fear, anxiety, the unknown, and uncertainty, the mind and body need to find a place of rest. A safe place allows the body to relax and enter into homeostasis, which is the balance point within the body that allows for healing. When the external world feels out of our control, one practice that can alleviate some of the stress and fear is to practice visualizing a safe place. Studies have shown that creating an actual visual representation through an art piece, photograph, painting, drawing, collage, or other visual form can help heighten the physiological response of relaxation in the body." - BROOKE FEINERMAN, PhD⁣ ⁣ To read more on creating a safe place, click the link in our bio! ⁣ ⁣ #phdweightloss #phdblog #phdwl #healthblog #wellnessblog #createasafeplace
