**6.4 Attachment theory and PTSD in digital habitus**

Social media has been described as a double-edged sword. Beck's suggestions about The Risk Society have lost their validity. It is apparent that the types of risks that modern societies experience should be adapted to the de facto of the Information society. The risks are now scattered everywhere. There is no secure shelter in Information Age where people hide and protect themselves. The possibility of surviving without experiencing trauma is now a dream [96].

Bourdieu as the father of the term habitus declared that human beings are conditioned by their habitus [97]. Information society now created the term digital habitus where people now have to learn how to express constellations of new or previously unrecognized feelings, sensations, thoughts, and traumas to build an emotional repertoire, which assists them in emotional regulation. This is important because naming and expressing new experiences allows people to claim convenient agency in dealing with them.

To survive in the cyber world, we need to ensure that are we corresponding. Emotional and social attachments can create our little hells. Therefore, Attachment Theory can be reread to prevent dangerous attachments that can take place in digital areas. Attachment theory signifies the importance of our social interactions among trusted ones. In a similar vein, social baseline theory argues that social relationships play an important role in the well-being of society. Attachment theory argues that many people internalize attachment representations, such that mental representations of attachment figures acquire comparable soothing effects. So we humans learn from an early age to seek refuge in trusted others in times of need; caregivers provide us with food, nurture, and protection when we are vulnerable [98].
