Psychological Safety Begins at Home

“Psychological safety is not first taught in the boardroom. It is first taught at the kitchen table.”
Where do we first learn whether it is safe to speak, to question, to make mistakes, and to belong? Long before the classroom, the hospital floor, or the team meeting, the answer is written at home.
In this deeply personal and practical book, applied behavioral strategist Nisah Tahara, an Amerasian adoptee, traces her path from a turbulent early childhood and adoption to two NICU journeys thirty-five years apart.
Grounded in the research of Amy Edmondson, Timothy R. Clark, John Gottman, and other leading scholars, the Psychological Safety Bridge™ builds on their work rather than replacing it, tracing psychological safety back to where it is first learned. Its four spans, emotional, voice, identity, and failure safety, give parents, educators, and leaders a practical way to build spaces where people can feel, speak, belong, and fail without fear.
Includes research-based exercises, a comprehension quiz, the Psychological Safety Bridge™ Game, and The Curiosity Bowl™ Game.
