158 The Critical Relationship Between Attachment and Affect Regulation

If you have difficulty regulating your emotion, there is a reason for that! No one comes out of the womb with the ability to regulate their affect. The way you develop the neurobiological structures to regulate your own emotions is by having your affect interactively regulated by another. This is the main gift that a primary caregiver gives to a child. Another name for this gift is "secure attachment." The essence of secure attachment in adulthood is that you have the ability to both self-regulate and reach for help (that is, receive regulation from another).
