How to use it
- Choose a pictured place, create your own, use a real place, or skip imagery entirely.
- With eyes open or closed, if comfortable, add sensory details, boundaries, entry and exit, and optional support.
- Stop and orient to the current room if imagery feels distant, unsafe, or uncomfortable.
Reflection prompts
- What makes the place comfortable enough, if anything?
- What boundaries, exits, or support would you want there?
- What helps you reconnect with the current room afterward?
Facilitator guidance
Offer this as one optional resourcing activity and avoid assuming everyone can visualize or identify a safe place. Keep orientation, choice, and visible exit cues available throughout.
Adaptations & accessibility
- Use a real object, photograph, sound, or present-room location instead of imagery.
- Choose comfortable enough, neutral, or protected rather than safe.
- Keep eyes open and describe only external features.
