Embodied Safety

Rewiring generational attachment patterns to make space for more connection and security

Congratulations on completing the Circle of Security Parenting course. You have deepened your understanding of attachment security. You also probably had some experiences of how your core sensitivity can shape some of your parenting.

The Embodied Safety programme is designed to help you explore and rewire the core sensitivity that is most present at the moment. We work directly with your nervous system, supporting a shift from automatic, reflexive responses towards strengthening your capacity to notice when the core sensitivity is activated and have more choices about how you'd like to respond in that situation.

This work is the next step in shaping the kind of secure base you want to be.

The Embodied Safety programme can help you to:

Spot when your core sensitivity gets activated
Know how to look after yourself in those moments
Pause and make parenting decisions that are still aligned with your values and attuned to your children's needs
Rewire your nervous system for safety so that those fears are triggered less often, feel less intense, and, sometimes, don't feel threatening any more
Shift outdated relational patterns that might have been impacting your family for generations

What's included:

Twelve 50-minute Brainspotting sessions to access and heal specific attachment wounds and unresolved traumas stored within the brain and body. They can be related to painful early childhood experiences, neglect, abandonment, or inconsistent caregiving. Healing our attachment-related wounds can help us release stuck emotions, deepen our own sense of security, and grow our capacity to show up as hands for our children.

Fourteen weeks of access to live and on-demand neurosomatic practice sessions to create resilience, stress relief and repatterning in the nervous system. This includes a 14-day guide that will take you, day-by-day, through the exact techniques to become familiar with your stress response, heal dysregulation, and enhance a sense of safety in your nervous system. Live classes take place five days a week and include Q&A sessions so you can get personalised feedback and be guided in real time on how to customise the work for your unique nervous system. Please allow 15-60 minutes for the nervous system practice most days.

Una Archer, MSc. Soon after Una started facilitating Circle of Security Parenting courses, she noticed that even when we have the knowledge and a huge desire to be there for our children, our own trauma of unmet attachment needs can get in the way of connecting with our children and parenting how we really want to. Brainspotting is a gentle and effective way to locate and heal those traumas to help parents feel more present, relaxed and available when they are with their children. She completed her first Brainspotting training in 2016 and has been deepening her practice since then.

Elisabeth Kristof, MA, is an expert in nervous system health for trauma resolution and behavior change. She is the founder of Brain-Based Wellness, an online platform that trains the nervous system and body to resolve old patterns, improve performance and increase well-being. She is co-host of Trauma Rewired, the Apple Top 100 podcast that teaches you about your nervous system, how trauma lives in the body and what you can do to heal. Her research and work with hundreds of clients taught her that healing and change must occur in both the body and the mind, that each body, mind, and nervous system is unique, and most importantly, that with the right tools, we are all capable of healing.
