The Neuroscience of Safety in Relationships

“Safety is not just the absence of threat.” - Sharla Snow

Do you feel safe in your relationship? Does your spouse feel safe?

What does ‘safety’ mean in this context?

Well, more than just physical safety, it involves feeling safe, connected, and like your walls are down when you’re together.

Safety in relationships cannot be overlooked.

A person’s perceived safety is the foundation for healthy connection. And just because you love someone, it doesn’t always mean you feel safe with them.

In this episode, Sharla and Robert are going to dive into the science behind these feelings of safety [or threat] and provide tips for creating safety in your relationships.
