Most models of mental health treat regulation as a personal skill.

Something to learn.

Something to manage.

Something to fix. From this perspective, distress lives inside the individual

But human nervous systems do not develop, stabilize, or heal in isolation.

They are shaped inside families, cultures, institutions, and histories that regulate or destabilize long before choice is possible. Long before language. Long before control.

FSRT understands the individual nervous system as nested within larger regulatory systems. What appears as personal dysregulation is often the predictable outcome of systems that cannot hold safety, continuity, or repair.

Healing becomes possible when regulation is no longer carried alone.
