this part of me as if I were wrapping it in a blanket. I see you, protective part. Thank you for trying to help me. It’s okay that this feeling is here. I’m safe. This is okay. Then I return (R) to what’s real and true right now: the sensation of my breath, any sounds in the room, the feeling of my feet on the ground. By returning to tangible things that are real and true right now, in this moment, I’m pulling my focus back into the present.
