Human beings are hardwired to reach out for social support during stressful and difficult times.

This helps us to regulate our emotions and not get too overwhelmed.

However, when adequate social connections are missing from our lives and we don’t have this option, we turn to “external regulators” (e.g., substances or behaviours) that temporarily alleviate the pain, but which are maladaptive and destructive in the long term.
