Sing Out, Louise

From a sadlady book I’m reading about attachment/abandonment

“Imprinted in the amygdala are memories of how you responded to fear and other perceived threats since infancy. These emotional memories help you detect dangers that you have learned from previous experience, both as a species (don’t step over the edge of a cliff) and individually (don’t go near Uncle Charlie).”

- Susan Anderson, The Journey from Abandonment to Healing
