Thanks a lot for all your substack posts. I get an email each time one is released, and always make the time to read it. Really appreciate you disseminating your knowledge and experience so far, wide and free!

I was just wondering if you have any recommended reading that further summarises/ expands on what you’ve mentioned regarding the underlying neurobiological processes around novel secure attachment processes within therapy? Im really interested in learning more. I’m vaguely aware of the work of fonagy and ?allen Schore- but haven’t read much of their work. Is/ are there any key text(s) that you’d recommend to understand this further in a non convoluted way?

Thanks so much

I am quite fond of your earnest endeavors to educate people on these issues. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and observations, I think they do the world a lot of good.

I agree wholeheartedly with this piece, but I do believe that there is some value in the expression of emotions even when its to yourself. It doesnt provide the whole experience of being seen and understood by another person, but it is not without merit.

Cheers! 🥂

Great essay, and I highly recommend the book “The Talking Cure” by Susan Vaughan, which greatly expands on this topic.
