Emotional safety isn’t something that just happens in relationships — it’s a skill that must be practiced. In this episode, Helen Bass explains how building safety with others begins with managing your own nervous system, recognizing triggers, and responding intentionally rather than reactively. We discuss how self-awareness, boundaries, and reflection help create relationships where people can feel secure, heard, and respected.
