📚 Topic Summary
Understanding the difference between safe and unsafe feelings is a crucial part of growing up. Safe feelings are those that make you feel comfortable, secure, and happy, like joy, excitement, or calmness. Unsafe feelings, on the other hand, make you feel scared, anxious, or threatened, such as fear, anger, or sadness when it becomes overwhelming. Recognizing these feelings and knowing how to respond to them helps you stay healthy and safe.
