The Foundation of Safety in Relationships

Emotional safety is identified as the cornerstone of a healthy relationship, serving as the foundation for trust, intimacy, and love. To achieve this safety, both partners must create a space where they can express vulnerabilities freely, knowing that their emotions will be met with empathy. This goes beyond physical safety, encompassing psychological and emotional well-being, which allows partners to navigate stress without fear. Ultimately, feeling safe means trusting that your partner will not harm you intentionally and will support you in rebuilding after misunderstandings.
