Every wound can heal. Many mental health issues have their roots in childhood. Particularly negative attachment experiences leave a stress scar in the adult brain. When emotionally immature parents are unable to provide their child with the necessary emotional support to grow strong and secure, it results in a painful experience that carries through the rest of their life. Those affected later suffer more from attachment anxiety, fear of loss, and low self-esteem. With touching case stories and the right questions, psychologist Lindsay Gibson helps to contextualize and process such injuries.
