Creating Safety and Connection in Relationships

In order to create safety and connection in relationships, it is important to engage in a dialogue process that focuses on talking and listening in a specific way. This process involves talking without criticizing, listening without judging, and connecting with empathy. By engaging in safe conversations, couples can regulate their neurochemistry and establish a sense of safety and trust. Additionally, giving up negativity and practicing empathy play crucial roles in creating a safe space for each other. Affirming the intrinsic value of your partner's being, independent of the relationship, also strengthens the foundation of safety and connection.
