In this episode of Healing The Divide, I am joined by Jessica Baum, a licensed mental health counselor and author of the book Anxiously Attached. 

This deeply insightful conversation explores attachment theory through a variety of lenses from attachment formation during our nervous system's development within the womb and evolving into our relationships with our primary caregivers and ultimately into the domain of intimate relationship and into socio-political paradigms. 

I particularly connected to Jessica’s perspective on the conventional notion of triggers and reframing them as awakenings, inviting both curiosity and compassion. Our conversation explores the concept of co-regulation and its importance in healing and personal growth, in specificity how co-regulation supports self-regulation.

The discussion also delves into the impact of culture and politics on secure attachment and collective well-being. It highlights the polarization and division in society and examines the application of healing frameworks in service of such ideas as a trauma informed politics.

This episode traversed a breadth and depth of attachment theory driven into many unique and powerful contexts not typically spoken about. I found it utterly fascinating. And I hope you will as well!!
