✭✭✭✭✭ 5.17 Lifelong Neurological Effects of Early Parental Relationships

This episode explores the profound impact of early parental relationships on neurobiological development and lifelong attachment patterns. Drawing from neuroscience research, it examines how parenting styles, particularly emotionally dysregulated and narcissistic approaches, can lead to dissociation and altered brain development in children. The discussion delves into the cellular biology of relational trauma and its long-term consequences on emotional regulation and stress responses. Understanding these mechanisms can provide valuable insights for trauma recovery and breaking generational cycles of emotional neglect.
