Episode notes
Childhood experiences of abandonment, emotional unavailability, addiction, untreated mental health conditions, or trauma can lead to insecure attachment styles. Recent studies confirm that insecurely attached individuals often internalize beliefs that they do not deserve love, stemming from childhood experiences. This can particularly manifest if there is a history of childhood abuse, leading individuals to believe they were inherently bad or unlovable. Our brains may protect the bond with caregivers by idolizing them, creating a fantasy, and suppressing memories of their wrongdoing.
