Zero to 3 YearsThe primary matrix of brain development from zero to 3 years has a huge impact
on our entire lives. allan schore suggests that the core of our sense of self lies in
the patterns of emotional response (affect regulation) experienced in infancy and
that this regulatory capacity is responsible for the maintenance of the continuity
of the sense of self. Once laid down in the first few years of life, this original non-
verbal, prerational stream of emotion resulting from the infant-caretaker bond
continues throughout our life to be the primary unconscious motivator in our
relationships, having profound impact on our self-esteem and ability for intimacy,
trusting and bonding.
“It is the experiences of early childhood that create the foundational organization of
neural systems that will be used for a lifetime...While many more well-controlled studies
are needed, it is likely that certain brainstem catecholamine systems, for example, the
locus coeruleus nora adrenergic, the limbic areas, the amygdala, and the neuroendocrine
hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, and cortical systems involved in regulating stress
and arousal, maybe altered in traumatized children”. Dr. Bruce Perry
Allan Schore stresses the role of the attachment processes in the infant-caregiver
interactions in determining the “neurological bridge” between emotion and reason
built as the infant develops. The physical and social context provided by the
caregiver to the infant is an essential substratum of the assembly of the brain’s
primary matrix (zero-3 years). Schore states both the obvious and the ineffable
when he says that a brain can only develop in the context of another brain and if
isolated would become very atypical.
Lack of loving emotional regulation in the infant from insufficient mother-
child bonding reduces the lush development of the connections between the right
orbital complex and the limbic brain (Scaer) and interferes the perfection of the
pleasure circuitry between the cerebellum and prefrontal lobes (Prescott). These
attenuated neural networks mean that kindling in the amygdala and temporal
lobes is more likely to occur since the control of emotion by the cortex is not as
impactful as it would be in a brain that is developed under loving primal mothering.
The result being that those who experienced neglect, trauma, abandonment
in dysfunctional homes as a child are more likely to get epilepsy, seizures and
kundalini awakenings.
“Timing is everything. Bonding experiences lead to healthy attachments and healthy
attachment capabilities when they are provided in the earliest years of life. During
the first three years of life, the human brain develops to 90 percent of adult size and
puts in place the majority of systems and structures that will be responsible for all
future emotional, behavioral, social, and physiological functioning during the rest of
life. There are critical periods during which bonding experiences must be present for
