Attachment: The Movement Between Inter-Personal and Intra-Personal Relationships

By: David Berceli, PhD (USA)

In the process of teaching this technique I have discovered that there is a universal response to activating this tremor mechanism in the human body. The human body seems to activate this tremor mechanism with considerable ease. This would indicate that this is a genetically encoded neurophysiological mechanism. If, in fact, our body possesses a genetically encoded mechanism to tremor or shake itself, this would suggest that this mechanism has some potential value or purpose for the human organism. In this chapter I would like to explain how this tremor mechanism appears to move individuals towards a healthy restoration of both their intra-personal and inter-personal relationships.

The Psychology of Inter-Personal Relationships

The field of psychology has been instrumental in demonstrating the necessity of developing healthy relationships in the therapeutic process. This is particularly important when trust and human connection have been damaged by stressful or traumatic events. The restoration of that trust has often been achieved through the client/therapist relationship. This field of psychology has come to be known as “attachment theory”. Psychologist Dr. John Bowlby1 was the first attachment theorist. He described attachment as a "lasting psychological connectedness between human beings." He began his studies with the relationship between the infant and the mother. As this field of study developed, it was recognized that the role of infant/mother relationship is instrumental in adult relationships as well. It is also recognized now that stressful and traumatic events can actually sever one’s relationship with themselves and others in adulthood not just in childhood. As a result of this realization, therapeutic methods of re-attachment continue to develop.

Inter-Personal Neurobiology

Dr. Dan Siegel’s2 contribution to the concept of attachment theory was to bring recognition to the fact that this is not just a psychological experience but it is a neurobiological one as well. In his theory of “inter-personal neurobiology”, Dr. Siegel explains that it is an interdisciplinary field designed to create a coherent view of the whole person. In this sense, he expanded the concept of attachment theory to include the neurological, biological and physical reaction the human body has when it experiences a severing of attachment. In an interview on Rewiring the Brain3 he stated that: stress/trauma disturbs the homeostasis of the integrated system of the human body. This causes it to have differentiated parts and disharmonious experiences.

Observations of How the Tremor Mechanism Assists Relationship

It is from the insight I gained from these two researchers that I began to observe the tremor mechanism in a new light. Let me first explain my observations and then I will consider a hypothetical conclusion from these observations. When an individual first activates the tremor mechanism it seems to be a generic activation that is initiating some type of autonomic pulsation in the body. This generic pulsation and movement continues for a brief while until the organism accesses a specific myofascial pattern that is unique to the past tension pattern of the individual. When it begins to access this
