Summary
Terrified of being abandoned… or suffocated… or never truly chosen in love? That’s not you being “too much” or “not enough.” That’s your attachment wounds talking. In this powerful episode, I sit down with psychotherapist and attachment expert Jessica Baum, LMHC, to unpack why you feel the way you do in relationships, and how to finally feel safe in your own skin and with the people you love.
Jessica breaks down attachment styles in a way that feels like someone turning the lights on in a dark room. You’ll learn why you get anxious, avoidant, or shut down, what “earned security” really means, how to anchor your nervous system when you don’t have a safe person, and how somatic work helps trauma leave your body instead of ruling your life. We also explore what to do when someone you trusted isn’t safe, and how to parent with presence so your kids grow up with a rock-solid sense of “I am worthy of love.”
If your relationships, health, business, and self-worth feel tangled up in old pain, press play. This conversation is your roadmap back to safety, belonging, and secure love.
