I don't know what it means to handle a dysregulated client correctly. The assumption seems to be that a person's emotional system can be manipulated with scripted responses, and this will produce healing.
It seems to me a process designed to unravel people. Just getting in the client's face with crazy levels of intense attunement, followed by a forced ending driven by the clock and business demands, could be enough to seriously unbalance someone. Therapists are brainwashed to think this is normal. And if the client freaks out, it's because they're "borderline". This is why I find it so dangerous.
