Oxytocin
When you feel good, your brain is releasing Dopamine, Serotonin, Oxytocin, or endorphin. Our brain doesn’t release a happy chemical while it sees a way to meet a survival need, like food, safely and social supports. The feelings we call happiness comes from four special brain chemicals: Dopamine, Endorphin, Oxytocin and Serotonin. These happy chemicals turn on when your brain sees something good for your survival. Then they turn off, so they ‘re ready to activate again when something good crosses your path. Oxytocin produces the feeling of being safe with others now called bonding. Its motivates you to trust others to find safety in companionship.
