About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

An inspiring guide to fostering more security, intimacy and peace in our relationships, and in ourselves, from therapist and author of Anxiously Attached, Jessica Baum.

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.


'A masterful integration of neuroscience, attachment theory, and real-world healing. Jessica Baum bridges clinical insight with deep compassion, offering readers a roadmap for transforming the way they relate to themselves and others.'
Julie Menanno, author of Secure Love

'Reading Safe felt like sitting down with a wise, compassionate friend who understands the ache of disconnection and the beauty of repair. Jessica Baum has written a roadmap for anyone yearning to feel secure, seen, and safe in their relationships.'
Mark Groves, Human Connection Specialist and co-author of Liberated Love

'Wonderful . . . a clear analysis of the relational dynamics of the healing journey and a clear path to achieving it.'
Harville Hendrix, PhD, and Helen LaKelly Hunt, PhD, co-authors of Getting the Love You Want

This book is the book I have been waiting for. I learned so much about attachment, how trauma affects relationships and how to understand myself and others, and not least how it all impacts physical health. And all in such a warm and compassionate way. I feel optimistic and can’t wait to start the healing journey together with Jessica.
