Attachment is a regulator of emotional experience.

The type of attachments we form with our primary caregivers will be a predictor of the types of attachment we expect to form in adulthood. It will create a blueprint and it will be reenacted in every relationship we have.

We, as humans are wired to connect to our earliest caregivers.

These patterns of connection affect: .

✳️How we cope with different environments

✳️How we interact with others – communication and emotional patterns

✳️How we recover from stress – emotional resilience
