Meeting face to face such as at a CoT meeting or workshop has neurological health benefits... Even when not coping with potentially traumatizing events, close relationships dampen our biological response to stress, bolster our belief that we can overcome obstacles, and bolster our courage in tense situations. With the support of others, we tend to feel more self-confident and become more active problem solvers rather than passively avoiding challenges. The authors do mention my favorite factor in relationships promoting resilience: that close social bonds activate the release of oxytocin, the hormone of trust and belonging that reduces the release of the stress hormone cortisol and allows us to feel more safety trust, and resilience.
