Safety can be physical – such as being safe inside during a storm – or emotional.

In this important episode, Tina explains why “emotional safety” is more than a buzzword, and why unwillingly estranged parents benefit from understanding and embracing the concept.

Emotional safety is important in close relationships. But for parents living without sufficient emotional safety themselves, creating safety for their adult children may not yet be possible. 

Tina gives examples of ordinary situations that don’t meet the human need for emotional safety. She encourages listeners to reflect on whether they might be living in those situations, and figure out how to improve or transform them wherever possible.

She also shares 10 tips for increasing emotional safety in relationships.

If your adult child has ever spoken to you about feeling safe in your relationship (or even if they haven’t), this episode is a must-listen.
