Protection
What is Protection?
The need to be free from harm, threat, or violence — whether physical, emotional, or digital. Feeling protected allows you to be present rather than perpetually scanning for danger.
When you might feel protection
Protection is a specific form of physical safety, which itself is a type of safety. You might experience this feeling in situations where safety is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define protection.
