More than a dozen Senate Dems

openly opposed the appointment ahead of the committee vote.

Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal (D-Manhattan), the chairman of the judiciary committee, and others argue that while the state Constitution instructs the governor to get the “advice and consent” of the Senate on nominations it also grants each house in the Legislature the power to set its own rules.

Morehead said there's often a stigma that these patterns people learn between the ages of zero to five are unchangeable. But she believes in the "neuro-plasticity" of the brain to be rewired. "Beliefs are able to be healed as long as we are like really intentional about how we do that," she said. "You can heal yourself and you're not doomed if you did have a disorganized, avoidant, or anxious attachment. You can heal that and change that for yourself."
