How do you get your brain to feel safe? Answer: "Become someone your nervous system can trust"

I really liked this video, particularly the way the interviewee, Jean Itier, suggests to encourage your brain to feel safe... And it's simply to "become someone your nervous system can trust". For example, don't keep beating yourself up about stuff (because this makes your nervous system distrust you like it would distrust someone who kept beating you up!).

Anyway, these are the best bits according to Raelan Agle (the interviewer in the video) and I agree with her because Jean looks at things in a different way that may I think may help some people:

06:35 See why trying hard to feel safe can backfire
21:50 Become someone your nervous system can trust
23:15 Journaling not helping? See what Jean suggests instead
28:55 Try this to start changing your relationship with sensations
