⚠️ Safety and Crisis Resources
Some content may activate difficult memories or emotions. That is expected — it means you are engaging with real material. The skills you build help you manage this activation.
Signs you need to pause and ground:
- Dissociating during exercises (feeling unreal, watching yourself from outside, losing time)
- Distress that does not settle within a few hours of practice
- Thoughts of self-harm
- Symptoms significantly worse than baseline for more than a few days
When to seek professional support:
- Distress that persists despite using stabilisation skills
- Inability to function in daily life
- Thoughts of suicide or self-harm
- Feeling you need more support than self-guided work provides
This program is comprehensive, but it is not a replacement for professional care when professional care is needed.
