In order to play, mate, and nurture our young, the brain needs to turn off its natural vigilance . . .

Many people feel safe as long as they can limit their social contact to superficial conversations, but actual physical contact can trigger intense reactions. However … achieving any sort of deep intimacy — a close embrace, sleeping with a mate, and sex — requires allowing oneself to experience immobilization without fear.

This requires having experiences that can restore the sense of physical safety.
