"Our most vital relational need is to be emotionally safe...we cannot truly connect with anyone if we don't feel safe in their presence." —Alex Avila
But what is emotional safety, exactly? How can you tell if a person or relationship is safe or unsafe? Christian therapist Alex Avila explains what it looks like to protect our hearts while giving and receiving "safer love."
SAFER LOVE:
S = Slow and soft
A = Appreciation
F = Feelings
E = Empathy
R = Responsibility
L = Listening
O = Openness
V = Validation
E = Empowerment
