Impact of Childhood Experiences on Attachment Style
🤔 Negative childhood experiences with dismissive or hurtful parents can lead to avoidant attachment. 🤯 Without oxytocin (the love hormone), the brain learns to distrust others and avoid closeness. 😮💨 High cortisol levels block oxytocin receptors, hindering the development of GABA, which regulates cortisol. 😤 This lack of oxytocin and GABA also affects vasopressin, crucial for bonding and problem-solving with others, especially men. 🫤 Without these hormones, deeper conversations and serotonin are missed, leading to reliance on dopamine binging to manage cortisol. 😟 This pattern creates manipulative, pleasing, or avoidant behaviors.
