Another huge positive emerging from the research on the brain and on attachment is that the brain keeps growing throughout the lifecycle. Dan Siegel speaks of a 92 year-old client whose whole world opened up when he was able to change his thinking, connecting and thus his very brain. So we need not give up, despair or think we’re set in our stuckness and pain; we do, however we can find it, need trusting relationships in which to heal (and thus we need to make these things available to everyone who wants/needs them).
Scientists used to think that the brain was fixed early on and further change impossible. It is very much shaped by early experiences (which is one of the reasons those first years of life are absolutely critical for establishing security), but we grow new neurons throughout our lives in the part of the brain that connects everything together—and it is that deepening of integration of the different parts of the brain (i.e. traumatized and logical; fight-flight and empathic; language/logic and narrative/meaning/feeling) that helps us really heal and to be there for our kids, ourselves and each other (not to mention to flourish, express our true selves, contribute and have fun).

“…our task is to impress this preliminary, transient earth upon ourselves with so much suffering and so passionately that its nature rises up again ‘invisibly’ within us. We are the bees of the invisible. Nous butinons eperdument le miel du visible, pour l’accumuler dans la grande ruche d’or de l’Invisible. (We ceaselessly gather the honey of the visible, to store it up in the great golden beehive of the Invisible)”
Rainer Maria Rilke; Briefe aus Muzot, p. 335
