The topic of attachment theory has never been hotter, but going beyond simple types to uncover how you developed your unique attachment patterns and why you relate to others as you do is where the deepest insights can be revealed.

In this compassionate and practical guide, therapist Jessica Baum sheds light on the unprocessed attachment wounds that cause us to live in survival mode — and offers a roadmap for building safe relationships that can become the foundation for true healing. You’ll discover what fulfilling, joyful, secure love feels like and how to cultivate it using simple techniques that will help you move from 'fight or flight' mode to a place of trust and true closeness with the people you care about most.

Drawing on the brain science behind why we tend to repeat old, painful patterns, Safe shows you how to move toward relationships that provide the deeper connection and trust we all long for, in every area of our lives.
