Left and Right Hemisphere
While we have amazing brains that are designed to engage every region of the brain in a balanced way, sometimes we get stuck and one region dominates to the detriment of the others. The best way to re-integrate all regions of the brain is to provide love, words, and patience over time. The left hemisphere of our brain helps us process emotions in a healthy way. The right hemisphere helps us have healthy personal and interpersonal relationships. When they are not fully integrated it can lead to either an emotional desert – where we withdraw – or an emotional flood – where we are overwhelmed. Connection with others is the way to repair the bridge between the two hemispheres.
