The Enchanted Loom reviews Bonnie Badenoch's book, Being a Brain-Wise Therapist
- 1. The Enchanted Loom Teasing sturdy threads from neuroscience masterworks
- 3. Thread 1: Many years of research tell us that the single most important ingredient in effective therapy, regardless of the paradigm, is the empathic capacity of the therapist. (pg. 5)
- 4. Thread 2: The very process of directing attention to a particular memory adds the energy and information of the present moment to that memory. (pg. 9)
- 5. Thread 3: Right hemisphere processing is holistic and nonlinear, taking everything in at once in a receptive way. Working with the right hemisphere is the bedrock of healing in therapy. (pg. 20)
- 6. Thread 4: Sadly, one axiom that often proves true is that the greater the early wounding, the more power uncon- scious, implicit mem- ories exert in the pre- sent, until there is some kind of integra- tive healing experience. (pg. 26)
- 7. Thread 5: 9 functions of the middle prefrontal area: 1. Regulation of the body 2. Attuned communication 3. Regulation of emotion 4. Response flexibility 5. Empathy 6. Insight 7. Intuition 8. Fear extinction 9. Morality (pg. 33)
- 8. Thread 6: When it comes to empathy, all relation- ships are sloppy. Healthy mothers with securely attached kids only tune in to them roughly 33% of the time. The quick relief of distress is key. (pg. 34)
- 9. Thread 7: Attachment patterns begin when only implicit memory is available; one key lies in right brain to right brain, bodily-based regulatory experiences throughout life. (pg. 59)
- 10. Thread 8: Interestingly, the longing for connection appears to be embedded in neural cells in the chest around the heart, making sense of things like heartaches and broken hearts. (pgs. 65)
- 11. Thread 9: Internal relationships with our own psyche tell us what we can expect in external rela- tionships. These self-stories carry so much power, we respond to them like heat- seeking missiles looking for people who will help us replicate what we most deeply believe. (pg. 81)
- 12. Thread 10: There is no greater source of spiritual misery than projecting our hurtful parents onto the spiritual realm, as either a punitive or distant God, a debilitating shame over moral lapses, or a well of despair. (pg. 96)
