Studies have shown that strong social relationships can lead to a longer life. People with active social lives and healthy relationships are 50% more likely to live longer than those with limited social engagement.
Quality relationships can act as stress buffers. The emotional support provided by social connections can help reduce the physiological effects of stress, effectively leading to lower blood pressure and improved mental well-being.
Secure attachment styles, often fostered through healthy relationships, are linked to better emotional regulation and mental health. People with secure attachments are more likely to engage in positive coping mechanisms when faced with stress. And, secure attachment can be learned!
Healthy relationships can significantly affect mental health outcomes. Supportive social interactions have been linked to lower levels of depression and anxiety, as well as higher self-esteem.
“A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don’t function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick.”
― Brené Brown
