What Safety Feels Like in the Nervous System (Ep. 6)

Описание: Nervous system safety • trauma healing • intimacy disorders • connection vs protection

In Episode 6 of Reconnection Podcast, Dr. Michael Barta explores what safety actually feels like in the body and how to recognize the moment we shift from connection into protection.

Safety isn’t a concept — it’s a felt nervous system state. In this episode, Dr. Barta explains how to identify safety, how protection shows up in the body, and how we gently guide ourselves back into connection using awareness, breath, presence, and the Four Pillars.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
• How to recognize the green (safe), red (sympathetic), and blue (shutdown) nervous system states
• Why safety cannot be thought into existence — it must be felt
• How protection shows up as control, withdrawal, performance, or masking
• Why protective responses are information, not failure
• How authenticity, vulnerability, transparency, and presence restore felt safety
• Why healing begins inside the nervous system, not in controlling others
• How internal safety creates true co-regulation and healthy relationships

This episode is essential for anyone learning to move out of survival mode and into embodied connection.
