“The majority of research-related articles I read move automatically towards suggestions for doing something to the brain - finding new medications, applying techniques to train the brain, and other ways of treating the brain like an object that is separate from ourselves. In addition to this objectification, there is perhaps the greater danger that when we are viewing ourselves or another that way, we have already stepped away from being truly present, so the person being so scrutinized will not feel safe or have a felt sense of being heard, seen, or held. This includes our relationship with ourselves.” HealingCompassionMental HealthSelf AcceptanceNonviolenceTherapy TipsSafe PresencePerson Centered TherapyPerson Centred Care Book:The Heart of Trauma: Healing the Embodied Brain in the Context of Relationships Source: The Heart of Trauma: Healing the Embodied Brain in the Context of Relationships
