[0:09:36] Expanding Minds Interview: [Mental Wellness] Dr. Frederic Schiffer discusses dual brain psychology, which comes out of rigorous scientific research. Split brain studies show that each brain hemisphere can have a mind of its own. One of them could be troubled by past traumas, while the other is quite healthy. Victims of trauma often judge themselves as inadequate and feel they are weak. The purpose of dual brain psychology is to treat the trauma – to help the immature side realize that they were not responsible and they are not inadequate. They were traumatized. There’s a difference. An idea from dual brain psychology is to get the healthy side to be a co-therapist to help treat the trauma in the more troubled side. Initially the two sides are sabotaging each other. They can become cooperative.
