#AttachmentQandA (17) - #ACEs & #Attachment
▶️ACEs leave neurobiological scars
▶️We need to differentiate between ACE type: #abuse vs #neglect & #emotional vs #physical #maltreatment
▶️Age of onset/chronicity matters, too
➡️https://pvrticka.com/attachment-qanda/ & https://shorturl.at/guzCN
▶️#Disorganised #attachment has seen widespread interest in recent years.
▶️Unfortunately, some of this interest is based on false & misleading assumptions.

Very happy to that the new Mommy Brain Revisited podcast on #attachment and neural #synchrony is now out:
https://open.spotify.com/episode/6MKrXdDla9qb1WSrvAmwZW?si=qyiGaZdvTBG5hi9Z1aQx0A&nd=1
Many thanks to fabulous host Dr Jodi Pawluski.
We talk about attachment, #brains, #dads, #mums, synchrony and much more!
Listen to this episode from Mommy Brain Revisited on Spotify. In this episode of Mommy Brain Revisited I talk with Dr. Pascal Vrticka, Associate Professor and Senior Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Essex. We talk about all thing’s attachment and neural synchrony in mother-child and father-child dyads. We also talk about attachment parenting and how our beliefs about parenting can impact how our brain functions. Fascinating! Don’t miss this episode of Mommy Brain Revisited. It will make you rethink about how the parental brain is working and why! For more information on Dr Vrticka’s work: https://pvrticka.com/ For a free pdf of the book we talk about see: https://babygro.org/babygro-book Follow Dr Vrticka on Instagram @pascalvrticka where you at ask him about attachment in his Q&A! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mommybrainrevisited/support
#AttachmentQandA (16) - #Oxytocin and #attachment
SUMMARY
▶️Oxytocin is important for #love, #sex, #childbirth, #bonding, attachment, #caregiving
▶️But the label "love #hormone" is too simplistic
▶️Several recent & more comprehensive theories exist
#AttachmentScience (4) - #Epigenetics & #Attachment
▶️Two reviews from 2021 with 11 & 13 papers, respectively
▶️Some common themes start emerging (#oxytocin, #stress, #serotonin)
▶️Too early to draw firm conclusions
