Love and Mammals

Kathy Brous 9/12/141:02 PM

The “General Theory of Love” (GTL) shows it’s vital to value our mammalian attachment system. We need to stay close to other mammals.

This week I've got some great quotes and MP3 audio
clips from General Theory, to follow up on Dr. Stephen
Porges’ writings on mammals last week.

“A body animated only by the reptilian brain stem is no more human than a severed toe. Reptiles don’t have an emotional life,” notes GTL. “The advent of the mammalian limbic lobe, uniquely, lets mammals care for their own, have emotions, and risk and lose life for another....

"When mammals showed up on the planet, their reproduction was different. Unlike reptiles they gave birth to live helpless young that had to be nurtured...The parent has to monitor the physiology of the baby. Infants... seek out someone to soothe them."

And no we don't grow out of that; we all need people. READ MORE...http://attachmentdisorderhealing.com/mammal-love/
