What if feeling safe in your relationships didn't have to be a mystery?
What if peace, trust, and closeness weren't things you had to chase or earn, but things you could build, from the inside out?
In SAFE, therapist and author Jessica Baum invites you into a new way of relating, not only with others, but with yourself. This isn't about fixing what's broken. It's about gently uncovering what's been protecting you, understanding where your patterns came from, and learning how to create the kind of safety that allows real intimacy to grow.
You'll explore your inner world with compassionate, guided by the science of attachment and the wisdom of your own body. Through reflective exercises and somatic practices, you'll learn to recognize what secure love actually feels like and how to begin creating it in your life.
Safety isn't a reward for perfection.
It's something you're worthy of right now, exactly as you are.
