Related to our mammalian/primate evolutionary roots, core attachment in the home base is typically the place of safety from the threats in the outer world. And psychologically this is probably our deepest longing towards our primary partner… that with them we will be emotionally most safe. But there is a complexity inherent in this process, because our very vulnerable reaching to our primary partner for safety can itself be fraught with its own feelings of deep threat. In order to come home to the safety of our partner, we must first heal our fears about reaching for home with our partner. Something well worth doing.
