Use this to build an internal figure who can offer safety, care, and support when RSD flares.
Find a comfortable position.
Let your eyes close, or soften your gaze. Take a few gentle breaths.
Now imagine:
If compassion had a face, a shape, a formâwhat might it be?
This image can be anything:
- A kind person you trust
- An animal
- A future version of yourself
- A symbol, a being, or a light
Notice their posture, expression, and presence.
What colors or textures surround them?
Now imagine them noticing youâwith love.
What do they say? What is the tone of their voice?
Can you feel their care in your bodyâwarmth in your chest, a sense of holding, or softness in your shoulders?
Let them offer you a message, silently or aloud:
- âYou are not alone.â
- âYouâre doing the best you can.â
- âYou are worthy of kindnessâespecially now.â
Stay here as long as it feels good. Let that compassion soak in.
When youâre ready, take a final breath and open your eyes gently.
You can return to this image anytime you need care.
