Understand how to Establish a Safe Therapeutic DBT Environment that Reestablishes Healthy Boundaries, Connected Communication and Validates a Client’s Survival Journey 

SESSION 3 OF 5

Duration 14mins 35secs

In this session, Dr Eboni Webb investigates the importance of creating a safe therapeutic environment, specifically for trauma healing, emphasizing the concept of “felt safety.” Felt safety goes beyond mere intellectual understanding; it involves engaging the body’s sensory system to help clients feel secure. Dr Webb discusses several factors that contribute to felt safety, both environmental and interpersonal. She highlights how trauma-informed therapy requires a careful balance of these factors to avoid overstimulating or agitating the client.

The goal is to create a secure attachment between the therapist and the client by meeting the client where they are and helping them regain control over their body and environment. A well-constructed therapeutic space provides a safe haven, allowing clients to explore their trauma without the added burden of being on high alert. This approach to trauma-informed care integrates both the physical environment and the therapeutic relationship to ensure a healing process that feels safe and empowering for the client.
