There are situations in life that are expressed by the quote: “In the wrong place, at the wrong time, with the wrong people.” While these situations seem to be completely arbitrary and just happen, they actually “happen” when safety suffers. Safety can be viewed from a biological and psychological perspective, and although the two are intertwined, it is initially easier to “study” them separately .Physical safety includes the integrity of the human body, as well as the satisfaction of such basic needs as the need for food, shelter, sleep, etc. Problems with their satisfaction will “block” processes aimed at needs of a higher order, since they ensure the purely physical survival of the organism. “Physical” security includes the concept of physical comfort - what a person eats, what he is wearing, where, on what and What does he sleep under? In extreme situations, this issue is not acute, but within the framework of normal daily functioning, these “things” have a great influence on the psychological state. Specific examples of physical insecurity can be various situations associated with a threat to life (accidents, natural disasters, situations of violence (such as occurring with the subject himself, and observed), some types of medical procedures associated with penetration into the body or violation of the integrity of the integument), financial difficulties, etc. If it is impossible to successfully cope with such situations (their consequences), a person begins to develop chronic stressful conditions. Psychological safety is associated with the psychological comfort of the individual; accordingly, all situations that greatly violate it will be considered by the person as unsafe. This can include abuse (not only in adulthood, but also in childhood), bullying, mobbing (bullying at work), in principle, any situations associated with humiliation of honor and dignity. Long-term situations of uncertainty, when the situation cannot be resolved in any way, also create a “permanent” focus of excitation in the human brain, which over time develops into chronic stress. Separation in its various forms (termination of relationships, infidelity, divorce, death of loved ones, loss of work, any meaning in life, etc.) may become “unsafe” if a person, due to lack of resources or for some other reason, ignores or denies what happened. In this case, against the background of a completely acceptable state of health, extensive physical and mental symptoms may develop, indicating that a person exists in a state of chronic stress. From the point of view of psychology, safety can be considered as an adequate indicative (exploratory) reaction to the environment in the context of approaching and distance. To satisfy this need (like all others), there is a “signal” system in the human body - sensations, emotions, feelings. They are the markers that regulate the processes of approaching and moving away. Sensations are what is often considered intuition. In fact, most often “intuitive” decisions come from the fact that a person already has some kind of reaction to a situation - perhaps he noticed a similarity with a previous experience, perhaps he just noticed something. In this case, sensations should be considered the information that “receives” to the sense organs (eyes, nose, mouth, ears, skin). It is this information that a person receives from them that forms an “intuitive” idea of ​​the situation. Such information is often outside the zone of awareness, appears in response to a very slight change in environmental conditions, the body’s response is also so weak that it simply does not reach consciousness. But since In the human brain, like any animal in principle, all the basic instinctive programs of safety and protective behavior are “hardwired”, then it is precisely its functioning that a person owes to “intuitive” insights, sudden and not amenable to logical.
