Summary

Today we're discussing emotional safety and how our close relationships can provide a safe and comforting way to enhance our positive emotions and regulate our negative ones. Unfortunately, many relationships are lacking the feeling of safety and support necessary to facilitate honest emotional expression. We are going to look at a couple recent research questionnaires that set out to measure these qualities of our relationships and see how we can use them to improve our own romantic and platonic relationships.

0:39.0	I think that is foundational because if I think my partner doesn't understand or they're not making an effort to understand and they go to these tactics, I think to me that's going to land as just trying to dismiss my feelings or brush them under the rug.
