2022-04-28 18:11:45 +0000 UTCThanks for this interesting discussion. I think Richard’s comments on psychosomatic illness could be expanded on with reference to contemporary trauma theory, especially interdisciplinary links between trauma theory, attachment, and neuroscience. Starting points would be Stephen Porges’s polyvagal theory, the trauma writings of Judith Herman and Bessel van der Kolk, the Adverse Childhood Experiences Study, the developmental neuroscience of Sue Gerhardt, and psychoanalytic paradigms oriented around attachment, interpersonal relations, neuroscience, emotional affect, and dissociation, e.g. Stephen Mitchell, Alan Schore, and Philip Bromberg. The relationship between polyvagal theory and breathing may be of particular interest re covid/long covid
