they do this thing called the "ideal parent figure protocol" instead which is basically where you imagine an ideal parent figure parenting you in all the good ways instead of the bad ways, @xuenay and @Malcolm_Ocean and i are checking out a course on it:

I love how Dan Brown presents this informal case study on resolving (or ruling out) disorganized attachment first before doing anything that looks like trauma processing, based on his experience as an expert witness in multiple lawsuits pic.twitter.com/sPFZwaXhyOpic.twitter.com/sPFZwaXhyO twitter.com/QiaochuYuan/st…

I think that that claim in its literal form is too strong, but something like "several forms of trauma are rooted in early attachment wounds that will keep getting retriggered until you heal those original injuries" might be right.

I've felt disdain for this technique in the past but after some time I realised my "healing" was just back to back flashbacks because I was too prideful and egotistical to admit that sometimes you need distance and rest before tackling something.
