“This is the essence of mindsight: We must look inward to know our own internal world before we can map clearly the internal state, the mind, of the other. As we grow in our ability to know ourselves we become receptive to knowing each other. And as a “we” is woven into the neurons of our mirroring brains, even our sense of self is illuminated by the light or our connection. With internal awareness and empathy, self-empowerment and joining, differentiation and linkage, we create harmony within the resonating circuits of our social brains.”
The New Hope
According to Matanova et al. (2018)*, the human brain is continually going through a process of alterations thanks to our experiences in life. Studies indicate that our cognition is an important element linking our brain functioning and behaviour. Therefore, psychotherapeutic interventions affect the function and structure of our neuronal synapses.
