The Secure Base Model

The Secure Base Model is a psychological concept that describes how a reliable and supportive relationship can help individuals explore the world and cope with challenges. In this model, a "secure base" refers to a trusted person, like a caregiver or partner, who provides emotional support and safety. This supportive presence allows people to feel confident enough to take risks, face new experiences, and grow. When individuals have a secure base, they are better equipped to handle stress and develop healthy relationships, leading to overall well-being and resilience in various aspects of life.
