Our Inner Compass at work

Everything starts here.

This is the emotional core of TEG‑Blue.

We discover our internal compass, we understand it, we recalibrate it.

How our nervous system shifts between safety and threat shapes every emotional pattern.

Most people think emotions are either “good” or “bad.” But that’s not how emotions work. Emotions don’t have moral value. Here we replace binary labels like “happy” or “anxious” with precise patterns of emotional response, rooted in nervous system behavior.

Note: this map rests on Polyvagal insights (how the nervous system shifts) and an evolutionary lens (why Protect and Connect make sense for social animals).
