Emotional safety is the feeling of trust and openness in a relationship. Emotional safety is an essential component of a healthy relationship and contributes positively to your mental health and well-being. When you foster emotional safety with the people in your life, you can be your authentic self. It enables you to communicate openly and honestly without fear of judgment, reprisal, or abuse. Emotional safety also helps to build intimate relationships. A lack of emotional safety can lead to a disconnection between partners.
