🎙️ Welcome back to another episode of the "I Wish You Knew" podcast! Today Adam and Sarah sit down with Jessica Baum to dive into the neurobiology behind attachment, how our childhood serves as a blueprint for how we connect and how it affects our relationships in adulthood. It all boils down to our nervous system. Becoming an observer of our nervous system will help us form more secure and stable relationships.

Why are we attracted to the familiar?
Why do we choose people that are bad for us?
