Emotional and Psychological Safety
Are you someone who struggles to speak up about how you're really feeling—especially when you’re overwhelmed, scared, or sad? You’re not alone, and you’re in the right place. Hi, I’m Rebekah, an associate marriage and family therapist at Roubicek and Thacker. With extensive training in EMDR Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I believe that emotional safety is foundational to both healing and connection.
Welcome to another installment of my video blog series, where I explore important emotional topics that often come up in therapy sessions and everyday life. In this video, we’re taking a closer look at what it means to feel emotionally and psychologically safe—especially in relationships. This isn’t just about being protected physically; it’s about whether you feel safe enough to say, “I’m not okay,” or “I don’t know what I’m feeling, but something’s off.”
We’ll begin by raising awareness around emotional safety—what it looks like, how to recognize when it’s missing, and what it might be rooted in. For those of you who’ve followed previous videos on self-awareness and attachment styles, you’ll find those ideas woven into this conversation as well. And in the next video, I’ll share some tools and resources to help you begin exploring how to build that emotional safety for yourself and in your relationships.
