Ever wondered why some adults struggle with anxiety, depression, or feeling overwhelmed even in safe situations? The answer might trace back to something as common as being left to cry it out as a baby.

The truth is, early parenting choices, like sleep training and letting babies cry it out, can affect how their brain and body develop for years to come. Many well-meaning parents follow these popular methods, only to see their kids later struggle with anxiety, depression, or behavioral issues that seem to come out of nowhere. That’s because early attachment and nervous system development shape a child’s mental health in ways we don’t always see. Everything that happens in the first years of life,

Highly sensitive people and empaths often feel like they're drowning in grief while others seem to handle loss with ease.
