Fascinating stuff! And thanks for sharing it. So you research emotional effects of brain damage, and now you're learning about brain effects of emotional damage. It must really tie things together.
What you wrote about the right hemisphere jives with what my T has told me, and with my history. I had a neglectful, but not otherwise abusive childhood. Inability to self-soothe is one of my main troubles. My T always tells me I have to engage the adult, left-brain thinking to moderate the old programmed reactions. It's very hard for me to do that, so hearing about how it's actually possible to rewire the right brain is encouraging. I'll keep plugging away.
Thanks again.
