Will My Mom Help Me in This Moment?

As an infant, as a young child, that you couldn't depend upon your mom to be attuned and responsive to you. You are going to develop a sense of anxiety and uncertainty about whether you can depend on your mom or not. An infant has no ability to calm themselves when they are anxious and frantic and distressed. For an infant for mom to come to the door and not attend to the child for an infant is terror.
