How Relationships Shape Your Brain | Dr. Allan Schore

Regulation theory is essentially a theory of the development of the self in an optimal situation, but it also talks about the psychopathogenesis of the self, the early origins of psychiatric disorders and personality disorders. I'm thinking about not only schizophrenia and depression, but I'm now thinking about narcissistic personality disorders, borderline personality disorders.

Maybe we'll come back to more on that. And then ultimately, the repair of the self. So regulation theory is about the development of the self, the psychopathogenesis of the self, and then the repair of the self. Because these attachment situations are now going to play out under all periods of stress. The right hemisphere is dominant for the stress response.

The right hemisphere is dominant for the sympathetic nervous system, the energy expending, and the right hemisphere is dominant for the parasympathetic nervous system. So again, all of that will play out at later points under stress, and when those systems break down, that's when the patient will form symptomatologies and come into therapy. And in therapy, the therapist now, the key,

I'm jumping here. No, this is great. Because there's a right brain to right brain interaction between the mother and the infant. There's also a right brain to right brain interaction between the therapist and the patient. And the key to both of them is regulation. A person is coming in in a dysregulated state. The key to that is regulation.

And the key to any form of therapy, whatever the form of it is, again, is interactive regulation, and it's a therapeutic relationship. The thing which is the best indicator of whether somebody will do well out of therapy and whether a clinician will do well out of therapy is how well they can deal with the therapeutic relationship.

And a really good therapist literally knows how to bring back those attachment things there because now the person is starting to feel safety and trusted and, incidentally, Attachment is about safety and trust, which is very much autonomic. But again here, the key to therapy is being able to form a therapeutic relationship with the patient.

So the key here is, can the therapist form, co-create a therapeutic relationship with an avoidant patient, with a secure patient? with anxious patient, with a borderline patient. As you can imagine, the toughest thing is going to be able to do with the borderline patient or the schizophrenic patient. So what you have here is that the attachment dynamics are being laid out.
