11. Finding Safety in Uncertain Times

In this episode, Sarah Harmon and guest Emefa Boamah explore the complex topic of feeling safe - both physically and emotionally - during politically turbulent times. Their discussion delves into how our bodies process and store feelings of safety, the intersection of personal and collective trauma, and practical ways to ground ourselves when feeling unsafe.

Key Topics:

• Understanding safety as a nervous system state and felt experience
• How different aspects of identity (race, immigration status, gender) impact feelings of safety
• The connection between personal values and decision-making
• Practical tools for returning to safety in your body
• The importance of having spaces to gather and process collectively
