This week we have focused on how trauma and shame impact how we relate with others in a variety of contexts.
Summary
Let’s summarise the main points:
- Attachment theory is a theory of human bonding, loss, and how we turn to others to regulate emotional distress.
- The attachment characteristics we have with our primary caregivers inform our attachment behavioural system, which in turn informs how we relate with others when we are distressed.
- Trauma and attachment intersect – trauma is created in relationships and is also healed in relationships.
- The wisdom, firsthand encounters, and viewpoints of First Nations communities concerning trauma and shame within personal relationships are firmly grounded in the distinct histories, traditions, and outlooks of Indigenous populations.
