This journal and audio explore how love is both emotional and physiological, shaped by the nervous system’s perception of safety or threat. According to polyvagal theory, when we feel safe, we enter the ventral vagal state where we are open, grounded, and receptive, creating space for intimacy. Subtle threats such as tone of voice or silence can trigger survival responses like fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. Many relationship conflicts arise from these nervous system reactions rather than words. Healthy love involves co-regulation through breath, eye contact, and presence. Healing means recognizing your states, noticing cues, and returning to safety both individually and together.
