Right now when we're talking about safety in a really unsafe time,

when we don't feel safe ourselves because our neuroception is constantly being pulled for danger and threat,

is all of us as mental health people have significant

and I think valid concerns about the mental health implications of this time.

And there is something we can do that is so simple that I think is so

powerful and that is this to be thinking about our messaging so with our kids

when we say things like we're not going to the playground or you can't go to

school or you know you can't see your friends because it's not safe it's dangerous to do that

people can get sick and we use threat-based

danger-based messaging and we do that repeatedly. We know that the brain is

making these neural associations and my fear is that we are creating neuroception

of danger around things like going to school,

being with friends.

So what we want to do with this idea of creating safety

and our children relying on us as being safe harbors and safe

havens from the storm is to focus all of our messaging from a safety-based place.
