Early attachments play a crucial role in shaping who we are and how we navigate the world. Our parents guide us in understanding how to feel safe, loved, and successful. These early relationships influence our behaviors, whether we mirror our parents or act in ways that seem safest. The experiences we internalize from our family system help form our core values. Fortunately, thanks to the brain's neuroplasticity, we can reprogram these patterns and heal, even after complex childhood experiences.
