Do you feel safe in your relationships? Most of us struggle with feelings of security and safety. Enter my guest, Jessica Baum, a licensed psychotherapist and author of SAFE—Coming Home to Yourself and Others and Anxiously Attached: Becoming More Secure in Life and Love. She explores the “Whys” of life: why we feel, connect, and experience the world the way we do. This passion led her to specialize in trauma, attachment theory, and interpersonal neurobiology. She believes that connection to ourselves and others is at the heart of healing, and she uses a range of modalities to help individuals and couples return to wholeness. She’s the founder of the Relationship Institute of Palm Beach, and she leads the Conscious Relationship Group, a global coaching company offering support to clients worldwide. 

• How early attachment patterns develop and how they can make us feel unsafe in our closest relationships
• How to stop reenacting the core wound of abandonment in our adult relationships
• How to start building “earned security” if you didn’t grow up with it
• How implicit memory shapes our attraction patterns and relational choices
• How to recognize when you're pushing away the very connection you say you want
