It's not wrong.

No, it's actually a funny topic because for years, like I've worked in this area for 25 years, I'm kind of saying we need to consider attachment more.

You know, we're thinking about illness in terms of symptoms and in terms of brain and neurology.

Like the attachment is really important.

And now I find myself saying we need to talk about attachment less.

It's become so...

I don't know why it became such a juggernaut of popularity, but it seemed to resonate with certain bunches of people.

But people have taken a very complex thing and simplified it into something quite crude, of which it's not.

Do you know what I mean?

And there's a wider issue around, you know, people's...

In attachment theory, there were these attachment styles that people can develop over time.

Attachment theory is basically the first 1000 days of your life is really crucial because the hard wiring of

the way in which you see the world occurs in that time.

Yeah.

So that early infant attachment creates the lens through which you see the world.

So whether you are very trusting, whether you're very optimistic, very, you know, whatever the case may be, that crucial experience forms this very significant working model that stays with you for the rest of your life.

Like I'd be a firm believer in it.

Like I absolutely...

would see that it has massive impact.

I don't see why it can't.
