In intimate relationships, successful coregulation occurs when both individuals feel safe. However, conflicts can disrupt this connection, leading to a sense of disconnection. By resolving conflicts and returning to a place of emotional safety, we experience a positive sensation of calmness, grounding, and security in our bodies ---While disruptions in emotional connection are inevitable, a sense of trust develops over time, reassuring us that re-engagement is possible.
