Both radically changed how I experience the world. Their ability to move so deeply into my embodied self seemed to arise from how much they embodied what matters to their authors. The first was Dan Siegel’s (1999, 2012) The Developing Mind, making its appearance in my world in 2003. It was as though the mysteries of the neural landscape began to unroll within me like a delicate scroll, much in the manner that the universe had become a bit unveiled during my first encounters with a telescope. I was transfixed. That moved me to study deeply, being carried down into the unfamiliar – yet familiar – depths of the interlacing of brain, mind, and relationships. I believe the familiarity came because Dan was writing about the scientific side of our daily experience, so even within the complexities of concept and language, there were echoes of what we already know through embodied experience. His dedication to what he was writing about is woven into the winding pathways of complicated ideas, life-giving juice from his deep seeing.  \nMy interns and I immersed ourselves in this world until we began to feel it moving in the way we carried ourselves in the world, in how our eyes saw others with broader compassion, in the tenderness of gesture and gaze that arose from the growing awareness that each person is doing the best he or she can given their neural constraints and the level of support he or she is able to receive. We were changing as we became infused with concepts in a felt sense, embodied way. So much of how I have moved along the trail of attachment repair for those I teach or counsel has been guided by the vision Dan was able to capture and convey. At this point, it has become so interwoven with my sense of myself that I have difficulty speaking about the particulars – a rather lovely problem to have.  \nThen in 2010, I found myself picking up Iain McGilchrist’s (2009) The Master and His Emissary, a weighty book that speaks about the divided brain and its influence on the way culture has unfolded throughout western history. The relationship between the two hemispheres of our brains is such a thorny subject with a checkered past. At one time, we believed that the two halves of our brains were specialized in terms of what they did, but then learned, through brain scans, that circuitry in both halves fire for everything we do. One glance at a connectome – a diffusion MRI that tracks the movement of water molecules along axons -begins to give us the sense of the teeming firestorm that’s unfolding bi-hemispherically all the time. From there, it was an easy jump to begin to assume that there were no real differences between the hemispheres, except that (as Kosslyn and Miller [2013] outline) a few small areas have particular  \nfunctions. But maybe we were throwing the baby out with the bath water with that explanation. It seems reasonable to imagine that the bi-hemispheric division has persisted in the course of evolution for some reason.  \nIain’s experience with reading poetry for the felt sense of it (deeply moving) in contrast to reading it with a critical eye (coldly eviscerating) led him gradually toward the profound need to write a book about the different ways we can attend to our world and the enormous consequences for the culture we create through these modes of attention. He moved the conversation from concerns for what each hemisphere does to exploring how each hemisphere looks out on the world through a different lens. Said in the briefest way, our  \nright hemispheres have developed to attend to the space between in this moment of emerging experience. This way of seeing is profoundly relational and constantly flowing, and therefore filled with uncertainty and paradox. In contrast, our left hemispheres reprocess information rec","cbCaiaRgtQh7otbs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaRgtQh7otbs","pdf",4677246,"English","# Relationship is Everything\n## Embodied learning through The Developing Mind\n## Hemispheres, attention, and cultural evolution\n## Relational vulnerability between right and left modes","[{\"question\":\"Which two books does the author credit for transforming her understanding?\",\"answer\":\"She credits Dan Siegel’s The Developing Mind and Iain McGilchrist’s The Master and His Emissary, both of which she says powerfully reshaped how she experiences the world.\"},{\"question\":\"How does The Developing Mind influence her work on attachment repair?\",\"answer\":\"She describes how concepts from Siegel’s science became embodied in felt experience, guiding her approach to attachment repair in teaching and counseling.\"},{\"question\":\"What central contrast does McGilchrist’s model highlight between the hemispheres?\",\"answer\":\"The right hemisphere attends to the space between emerging experience through a relational, flowing lens, while the left hemisphere reprocesses information into more static systems that support stability and security.\"}]","Relationship is Everything - Inhabiting the Space Between | PDF"]
