Attachment Issues Cause Addiction - 4 Types That Lead to Drugs
Wednesday, 6 May, 2026
Think trauma only happens from big events like car crashes? Wrong. Dr. Ferghal here with a myth-bust that'll change how you see childhood forever.The biggest trauma isn't what you think — it's relational trauma. When your caregivers can't regulate their own emotions, your developing brain learns the world isn't safe. Here's the kicker: your infant brain literally relies on your caregiver's nervous system to learn emotional regulation.But here's the hope — your brain has neuroplasticity. Even anxious, avoidant, or disorganised attachment patterns formed in childhood can heal through new relationships. The same way trauma happens in relationships, healing happens in relationships too.Your foundation might have cracks, but it's never too late to rebuild. Want more?
