The 5 Love Languages help people talk about how they like to give and receive affection, but it's not enough.

In this episode, I introduce Anchored in Safety™, a relationship framework that asks not how love is expressed, but love that is safe to receive. I explain why love languages focus on preference rather than nervous system security, and why gestures and behavior can’t repair betrayal, inconsistency, or attachment rupture.

We’ll walk through the Six Safety Anchors™ - Reassurance Safety, Emotional Presence Safety, Conflict and Repair Safety, Autonomy Safety, Vulnerability Protection Safety, and Support Safety - and how each creates the conditions for connection beyond the 5 Love Languages.
