Create the life you want to live, instead of living the life your history catapults you into.
You may be wondering:
“Is it possible for ME?
Can I change?
Is it possible for me to shift these painful patterns into a more fulfilling life?
Can I truly organize this crazy inner world?”
The simple answer is “Yes”
Your journey to becoming safely embodied begins inside the pages of this book.
Maybe you’ve faced trauma or stress or suffocating fear or numbing depression or shame and self-doubt.
Maybe you wonder whether those emotions, memories, and experiences are blocking you from being as fulfilled and happy as you could be. And how to get unstuck.
In Becoming Safely Embodied, Deirdre Fay distills her 35 years of psychotherapy and spiritual practice into a simple, step-by-step roadmap to finally and completely heal from difficult histories.
Throughout her years as a therapist and coach, Fay noticed that clients would make progress while in a therapy session and then revert to “normal” between sessions.
What people need is a set of skills and practices that will support healing and wholeness during the hours, days, and weeks in between sessions.
Whether you are healing from abandonment issues or from pain or from grief—or whether you are helping someone else to heal—Becoming Safely Embodied is your map and guidebook to finally becoming at home with your internal world...cultivating a body that’s a safe place for rest, reflection, and well-being.

Change Only Happens in The Moment
We want life to be different. We want our internal and external experience to be different. In this video, you’ll discover how to set up the circumstances so the change you want can happen.
Setting Intentions
We need to know where we’re wanting to go in order to get there! This gentle audio meditation guides you to clarify and align you on your path.
Six Sides of the Breath
Slowing down we can create a positive integration with the body, mind, and heart. This practice is one of many to train the mind to focus – to stabilize. Then when something is overwhelming we can practice bringing our mind to the simple mechanics of the breath.
Developmental Task of Becoming a Self
Becoming an adult means we’re living from the inside out... instead of demanding the world to take care of us, as our child parts know so well (!). This involves three stages of integrating the parts of ourselves that we had to shut down in the past in order to survive.
