Shari B. Kaplan explains how maternal stress hormones in the womb alter a baby's brain development, immune system, and later ability to form attachments. Prenatal stress sets off a cascade of effects that shape lifelong development.
So the biopsychosocial is a timeline from the time you are in the mother's womb until your current day. And the reason that it's so important to know what happened in the mother's womb is because now we know that if an infant is showered with stress hormones, that their neurology is affected, whether their immune system is affected or the way that they develop is affected. And then everything that happens thereafter affects your attachment and your identity development.
