“Our childhood shapes our brain in many ways—and so it determines our most basic ways of reacting to others, for better and for worse. Daniel Siegel has done years of research to support these conclusions. Siegel, a psychiatrist at the University of California, Los Angeles, founded the field of “interpersonal neurobiology,” which explains the brain basis for our habits of bonding with others. His research shows how we can overcome emotional disadvantages that might have arisen from difficult childhoods. And just as our relationships with our parents shape our neural circuitry, so too can our adult relationships help rewire us for connection and security.”  Dan Goleman on Dr Dan Siegel
