Getting and Feeling Safer, Part 2

Abstract This module builds on all you’ve already done as part of this program and focuses on learning more ways to help yourself recognize, interrupt, and reduce things that get in the way of getting and feeling safer. Toward these ends, this module will help you learn about your “window of tolerance” and how to calm your alarm system. You will practice getting and feeling safer by staying within and slowly expanding your window of tolerance. It will also help you practice having safer experiences, doing things that help calm your alarm system, and reducing behaviors that get in the way of getting and feeling safer. You will also learn about reducing your exposure to unhealthy and retraumatizing experiences and ways to help yourself when your risk of doing unhealthy or unsafe things is increasing.
