But studying the neurobiology of trauma is an academic endeavor, and has little to do with healing people through contrived clinical relationships. Expertise in trauma is not a technique or process.
If the assumption is that such a therapist can help the client via co-regulation of affect, then I would ask... with one or two hours per week of contact? That's nuts. The rest of the time, the client is bound to struggle with separation/abandonment.
Therapy is structured to be a form of abandonment exposure therapy. The client is lucky to emerge in one piece, let alone achieve any progress. I think it is truly insane in this respect.
I unwittingly fell into an "attachment", and it failed badly, and it had nothing to do with training. It was the abnormally intense and concentrated attunement -- a huge manipulation -- followed by days of withdrawal, and all that addiction sort of BS. Increased contact solved nothing, just fed the dependency.
