About Back to Safety
35 practices, including 8 free. New: Step Back from Worrying Thoughts and Make Room for Feelings. Two practical exercises for moments when thoughts or feelings take up your attention. Back to Safety helps you practise regulation when you feel tense, overwhelmed, depleted or disconnected. Choose an exercise that fits the moment, check in with how you feel, and discover what you want to return to. The app was created by a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist. Every exercise includes scientific background and sources. The practices draw on research and clinical approaches involving breathing, grounding, self-compassion and body-based attention, among others. YOUR PERSONAL FOUR-WEEK PROGRAMME With Premium, you can practise for four weeks in a way that suits you. Choose your direction, pace and preferences. A brief check-in helps you find a suggested exercise; afterwards you record how well it suited you. Your overview shows what you have done. Build a personal set of exercises without a rigid schedule to keep up with. Your regulation card brings together exercises that suit you, your own signals and sources of support. Add a supportive phrase or write your own words. Save the card as a PDF or print a pocket-sized version. JOURNAL AND PROGRESS Record sessions and notes in your Journal. Progress lets you explore your own measurements and patterns over longer periods. The expanded Premium Journal and Progress reports explain the data and can be saved, printed or shared as PDFs when you choose. Standalone exercises outside the programme can count too.
