This blog, explores the link between psychological safety and our inner world. Drawing on Dr. David Rock’s SCARF model, it examines how our need for status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness, and fairness influences not only how we relate to others but also how we speak to ourselves. By turning this model inward, we can uncover the subtle ways our self-talk and nervous system shape our sense of inner safety. This reflection invites you to nurture awareness, soften self-criticism, and create a calmer, more compassionate relationship with your own mind.
