How to Create Emotional Safety in Your Relationship

Understanding emotional safety is key to fostering healthy, more meaningful relationships — it’s what trust and vulnerability depend on.
Emotional safety is feeling comfortable enough to be your most authentic self in front of someone else and having the confidence to truly express yourself to them. And it goes both ways.
10 Ways to Establish Emotional Safety in Your Relationship
