Did you know that human beings are inherently social creatures?

‍

Throughout history humans have travelled, hunted, and thrived in social groups…and for good reason! Humans who were separated from their tribe often suffered severe consequences. The need to be in connection with others is built into our wiring as humans and new research in interpersonal neurobiology has shown that if you’re struggling, one of the best things you can do is connect with others. So, call a safe person or family member. Go for coffee with a trusted friend. Deep, meaningful relationships make us feel safe and seen.
