Why you keep getting triggered: Understanding insecure attachment and breaking the cycle with Jessica Baum
Description
Joining me this week is Jessica Baum, licensed mental health counselor, relationship expert, and author of the new book SAFE: Coming Home to Yourself and Others.
Together we explore:
- How insecure attachment patterns form in childhood and continue to shape how we show up as adults and parents.
- Why parents with a history of insecure attachment may find themselves more easily triggered by their children.
- The difference between awareness and healing, and why insight alone isn't enough to create real change.
- How to repair attachment wounds by learning to regulate your own nervous system.
- What the "Wheel of Attachment" reveals about the fluid, nuanced nature of our attachment patterns.
- How doing your own inner work can transform not just your relationships, but the emotional security you pass down to your kids.
If you've ever wondered why you react the way you do or how to stop repeating painful relational cycles, this conversation will help you understand what's happening beneath the surface and give you hope that true, lasting healing is possible.
