Emotional safety isn’t just about people — it’s also about place.

Some cities naturally feel calmer on the nervous system. The pace, sounds, social norms, access to nature, and everyday rhythms quietly signal safety to the body. In these environments, the mind softens, vigilance drops, and emotional regulation becomes easier.
