This reminds me that I need to ask my T if I have to go through all of the developmental stages again in her office to create the proper neural networks for secure attachment. I have a history of childhood neglect and noticed I have strong separation anxiety from her between sessions and in anticipation of her upcoming trip. The attachment literature mentions this is a common developmental stage between 8-15 months old, but wtf I’m over 400 months old, lol! Early childhood experiences can mess one up more than I ever anticipated (and it makes what’s happening at the US-Mexico border even more heartbreaking).
