Safe Space
A safe space is a space that allows a sense of security in times of uncertainty and ambiguity in order to deal with extreme traumas and events and reduce their post-traumatic impact in the future. The ability to be in an emotionally safe space combines with mindfulness and biofeedback processes, with knowledge of trauma-aware education together with an actual space that allows for a safe physical and emotional experience.
