Causal Systems Theory begins with structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCausal Systems Theory presents a rigorous systems-based framework for understanding mind, behavior, development, stress, trauma, identity, and narrative - not as matters of willpower or intention, but as outcomes of stabilization within a constrained system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are truly in control, why do the same patterns return?
