A NtR Short: Four Characters in the Brain (and How to Talk to Them!)

Naming the Real

We have four “characters” in our brains: two in our left hemisphere and two in our right. These characters have vastly different concerns and focuses, and when we find ourselves mired in the more self-absorbed or anxious characters, we can feel really stuck. In this episode, following the work of Jill Bolte-Taylor, we explore a way of getting unstuck. By knowing these characters and addressing them directly, we can toggling between them. And by toggling, we can shift our experience in any given moment to broader perspective, stories, and possibilities.
