The Importance of Positive Social Interaction for Feeling Safe
Positive social interaction is the most effective way to activate the Vegas nerve and make us feel safe and secure. When we engage in face-to-face conversations with people who make us feel safe, it activates the part of the Vegas nerve associated with feelings of safety. This creates a feedback loop where we become more expressive social beings, which further activates the Vegas and enhances our feelings of safety.
