So I bought The Courage to Heal book and the workbook. I am crabby and a bit flustered about the FIRST exercise. Well, the first exercise for me was actually opening the packages, in reality. I have been keeping the books in the packages so no one can see the covers, even after I finally opened them. I am not usually this big of a coward. I hate that feeling of being exposed. I don't want to have to explain to someone in my real life why I have this book and workbook.

Anyway, the first exercise is about exploring times you have felt safe in your life. Is this exercise SUPPOSED to be this hard? I have a few times in my life where I felt "safe" for a few fleeting moments. Then reality would set back in.

Do you guys feel 'safe'? Am I attaching some weird meaning to it that I don't feel safe? What does it mean to you? When do you feel it? When am I supposed to be feeling it? I am feeling pretty stupid right now.
