By the time babies are 1 year old, they have learned a key Life Lesson. "When I need help, will someone come?" The answer they have discovered -- Yes or No -- becomes built into their biology. Their subsequent development is built on that foundation. #Attachment

This.
This from @IanDunt .
In the U.K., we are living in a society governed by people who don't like children. (Unresolved pain from your own childhood can do that to you. Neoliberalism accentuates it.)
This is a pathological way for a society & a government to operate.

"Trauma is something that happens to your *physiology*. It's not the *story* of what happened to you." Quoting @lokiscottishrap

It echoes why I use that word "biology" all the time. Biology underpins all human behaviour.
