  Key Features of SAFE

SAFE is a science-informed guide to building inner security, emotional safety, and healthier relational intimacy. ([Jessica Baum, LMHC][3])

 Explores how we protect ourselves—defensive patterns, old wounds, avoidance or anxiety—without realizing how these are holding us back from connection. ([Jessica Baum, LMHC][3])

 Contains somatic practices and “embodied” tools: helping you move from survival mode to peace, safety, and trust. ([Jessica Baum, LMHC][3])

Helps readers understand their attachment style (secure, anxious, avoidant, disorganized) and how neurobiology + relationship history shape those patterns. ([Jessica Baum, LMHC][4])

  Episode Discussion Points

1. What “psychological safety” really means & why so many relationships lack it.

2. How childhood, past attachments, and relational trauma show up in adult relationships—even in business or friendships.

3. The difference between “fixing what’s broken” vs “uncovering what’s been protecting you.”

4. How to recognize triggers from your attachment style and how to respond rather than react.

5. Practical steps & mindset shifts for building more secure, safe connection—with self and others.
