We all know that relationships are important. They can make us happy, healthy, and fulfilled. But did you know that healing relationships can actually change your brain?

That's right, research has shown that healing relationships can help to:

  • Increase happiness
  • Promote longevity

And that's just the beginning. Healing relationships can also help us to overcome painful past experiences.

How Healing Relationships Change Your Brain

So how do healing relationships work their magic? It all starts with the brain.

When we are in a healing relationship, our brains release oxytocin, a hormone that promotes bonding and attachment. Oxytocin has a calming effect on the body and mind, and it can help to reduce stress and anxiety.

In addition to releasing oxytocin, healing relationships also help to stimulate the vagus nerve, a nerve that runs from the brain to the stomach. The vagus nerve is responsible for regulating the body's stress response. When the vagus nerve is stimulated, it can help to slow the heart rate, lower blood pressure, and promote relaxation.

The combined effects of oxytocin and vagus nerve stimulation can create a sense of safety and security. This can help us to feel more comfortable opening up about our past experiences and working through our pain.
