Melissa Lapides, LMFT (@getsecurelyattached) discusses the profound effects of complex trauma, particularly in early childhood, and how it manifests in adult relationships. She emphasizes the importance of understanding attachment theory and how early experiences shape our emotional responses and relationships. Melissa shares her personal journey of healing from trauma and the significance of trauma-informed care in therapy. The discussion also touches on the role of attachment in relationships with pets and the importance of co-regulation.
