About this evidence tier
This is a provisional editorial rating for the general practice, not proof that it treats a condition. Research citations will be attached after source-level review. Use the safety notes and judge the practice by your own tracked response.
Even a few seconds of safe eye contact with a friend or partner can release oxytocin and a felt sense of being met.
