The Biology of Secure Attachment and Its Intergenerational Impact - why is this important? Here's why. Attachment, a crucial survival aspect of early childhood development, has far-reaching effects on our lives. When we experience insufficient connection, such as not being held, heard, seen, or understood enough, we adapt to cope. These adaptations lead to a "not enough" programming that becomes deeply ingrained in our minds and bodies. It becomes our psychology and biology. Yet, the impact of attachment wounds and programming extends beyond each individual. They get passed down through generations. All this and more today -Day 3- on Unlocking The Attachment-Health Connection Summit! This talk is only available today, so register now to watch and learn! Register here: https://lnkd.in/gMZdmB7T
