EFR 904: The Neuroscience of Relationships and Safety: Healing Attachment and Core Wounds with Jessica Baum

This episode is brought to you by <a href="https://www.audibletrial.com/everforward">Audible</a>, <a href="https://www.fatty15.com/everforward">Fatty15</a> and <a href="https://www.drinklmnt.com/everforward">LMNT.</a> Today I we sit down with psychotherapist and author Jessica Baum to explore how our earliest attachment patterns and trauma bonds shape the way we love, connect, and heal. Drawing from her groundbreaking new book <a href="https://a.co/d/6eCUTKs">SAFE: A Process for Creating Safe and Intimate Relationships with Yourself and Others</a>, Jessica explains how the body stores implicit memory, why safety—not strength—is the gateway to healing, and how we can transform our nervous system responses to build secure, authentic relationships. Together, Chase and Jessica dive into the neuroscience of trauma healing, the difference between familiar love and real safety, the role of co-regulation, and how facing your own fears of abandonment can lead to the deepest peace and connection you've ever known.
