Reply to comment by hdeanzer in The philosophy of Beccaria is relevant to understand the current mental health crisis. The idealistic abstractions of the legal system are akin to the ones used in psychiatric discourse. by carrero33

There's some interesting science going on around regulation and the brain. My therapist specializes in infra slow fluctuation neurofeedback and his colleagues are finding our brains have a "set point" that the ISFN helps the brain learn to get back to and regulate around. Trauma disrupts the brain's ability to regulate itself optimally.

It also seems that secure attachment throughout our lifetime is a huge component of mental health. There is a lot of data on attachment theory that's replicable and solid. The issue is people not putting that science into practice.

I guess some practitioners don’t put that into practice, but as a practitioner myself, I certainly do. I’m glad you’re working with someone you feel can assist you, and is giving you a helpful treatment.
