The Impact of Oxytocin on Avoidant Attachment Style
Experiencing love and warmth from others triggers the release of oxytocin in the brain, promoting feelings of safety and happiness. Without this oxytocin release, individuals may develop avoidant attachment style, leading to a belief that others will not help or support them. This lack of oxytocin also hinders the production of GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter that reduces stress and promotes better sleep.
