Love's Memory

b'This week Kevin and Niseema follow up on the past two shows with Attachment Theory specialists Drs. Howard and Miriam Steele. Attachment Theory focuses on whether a child feels secure or insecure in their connection to, and "attachment to," the caretakers in their life. This early relationship influences the way a person will relate in their mature adult relationships. During the show, Kevin and Niseema ask some basic questions to help you determine whether you were securely or insecurely attached in childhood. See the attached questionnaire on the link below.\\n\\nKevin and Niseema also talk about research into "memory" and how our adult brains impose a memory on to our childhood brain. Statistics consistently show that the adult brain often creates a faulty "memory" of incidents that happened in the past. It\'s as if the brain takes a photograph of a past event and then distorts or enhances the photograph. The brain will often create a faulty memory of what love looked like in our childhood. It is this faulty memory that we project onto our future love relationships. It is astonishing what the brain/mind can do.'
