Healing

“The human psyche, like human bones, is strongly inclined towards self-healing.”

John Bowlby

John Bowlby, a British Psychiatrist, is best known for his work on attachment theory. Bowlby's found a secure emotional bond between an infant provides the foundation for a child to explore the world and, crucially, to develop a healthy sense of self. When we experienced a secure attachment as a child, we internalise the sense of being worthy of care and support.

When feeling broken internally and emotionally, we also need to remember we have an inner drive to heal. We just need to connect with that drive. This connection is built through healthy secure relationships.
