New study from the @soneatlab.bsky.social:

Securely stressed: association between #attachment and empathic #stress in romantic couples

👉🏻 doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Secure attachment can be both a ✅ resilience and a potential ⚠️ risk factor within romantic relationships under stress.

#Attachment #MythBusting #07

#PolyvagalTheory (PVT) is very prominent in the context of #attachment and #trauma. However, it is not supported by current #physiology literature. This has important implications.

#Attachment #MythBusting #04

The #neurobiology of attachment is often explained based on the Triune Brain Model. But this model is a myth and its use misleading.

The human #brain is adaptive, not triune – and this adaptiveness is key for attachment!
