Since we came from a connecting universe (in the quantum world), we have a memory of that stored away unconsciously. It is stored away along with the circumstances and folks responsible for the loss of it. Here is what the authors have to say about the brain and memory. Brain and Memory “Not only do […]
Chapter 5 The Human Problem (con’t)
In the last part of Chapter 5 The Human Problem, the authors explain that deficits in nurturing can and do happen throughout the 6 developmental stages children go through. They characterize the six stages as: connecting (birth-18 months), exploration (18-36 months), identity (3-4 years), competence (4-7 years), social (7-13 years), and intimacy (13 years-adulthood). Children […]
Chapter 5: The Human Problem: Ruptured Connecting
In a quantum perspective, relating is our nature. We are part of the cosmic connection of the universe and when we’ve ruptured connecting, the human problem ensues. The authors state: “We posit that for ALL (emphasis added) human beings, a threatening event occurs in the child-caretaker Space-Between. An intrusive or neglectful caretaker, or both, ruptures […]
Chapter 4: Restoring Connection
Chapter 3 challenged us to examine our human brain. To examine its complexity, its neuroplasticity, and its relational features suggested by quantum theory. The brain only develops in relationship. And as humans, obviously, the earliest relationships are with our caretakers. Chapter 4: Restoring Connection Restoring connection is crucial. Chapter 4 goes on to explore just […]
Imago Clinical Theory: The Connecting Brain (con’t)
Last week I looked at the lower and midbrain. Today let’s take a look at the connecting brain. Our new brain – the upper brain – which developed much later in our evolutionary trajectory. “Taking up five times more room as does the primal brain, the cerebral cortex is the precious crown jewel of the […]
Imago Clinical Theory
The six chapters in this section of the book, Imago Clinical Theory, look at life, therapy, and relationships in this new quantum universe of ours. Chapter 3: Our Connecting Brain Chapter 3 begins with a look at our complex human brain and its role in “the drama of couplehood”. The authors don’t pretend to provide […]
