Social interaction is a key factor in nervous system regulation. Humans are wired for connection, and isolation can lead to stress, burnout, and emotional dysregulation. Studies show that lack of social interaction can impact overall well-being.

Key Takeaways:

• Talking about our experiences helps integrate emotions and reduce stress.
• Engaging in shared activities (e.g., meals, rituals) supports regulation.
• Isolation can lead to nervous system dysregulation and mental health challenges.
