When we feel love, trust and safety, we are integrated within ourselves and in tune with others. As soon as we leave this secure place because of perceived threats, we act either defensively or offensively in order to protect ourselves. The goal always is to return to love, trust and safety, our most productive place, but the behaviors we use (e.g., fight or flight) may not reflect that goal to the outside world.
