When you are safe your stress hormones decrease or at least they remain still.
This shift is essentially your body moving from a state of "survival" to a state of "maintenance." Here is a quick breakdown of what happens when that sense of safety kicks in:
The Biological Shift
Parasympathetic Activation: This is often called the "Rest and Digest" system. It acts as a brake on the stress response, slowing your heart rate and lowering blood pressure.
Hormonal Stabilization: As cortisol levels drop, your body stops prioritizing immediate energy bursts and starts focusing on long-term health, like immune function and tissue repair.
Homeostasis: This is the "stillness" physiological state where your internal systems are balanced and stable.
Safety isn't just a feeling; it’s a physical requirement for our bodies to function properly.
