The Neuroscience of Attachment Styles
This newsletter sets you up for a sequence of articles I wrote as a continuation on this topic, including:
- The neuroscience of how attachments are formed between a child and caregiver in early development
- The neuroscience of our love languages
- The neuroscience of romantic relationships. This interpersonal relationship type is the one most highly affected by the attachment style your formed in your early years. Why is that? I get into that as well.
- And so much more!
In this newsletter
I dive into the neuroscience literature of attachment styles
While I give a succinct summary of what the attachment styles are and the history of them, my main focus is on how the brains differ across people with different attachment styles.
In addition I investigate the different mental illnesses that are more commonly experienced by people with certain attachment styles.
And... oh boy, I am really talking about a lot of stuff in this newsletter... I also discuss how attachment styles can change across your life time, and what you can do to start the journey towards the highly desirable "secure" attachment (warning: I give no self-help guide, rather I provide evidence-based insights into strategies that are proven to work for changing attachment styles).
Don't get overwhelmed by the wealth of information. It's full of useful illustrations that makes it easier to digest it all.
