The left-hemisphere's ays of attending and working are ery different from those of the right. It is the realm of greater fixity, of creating systems that can potentially bring the right's vision into manifestation.

The right-hemisphere contains significanntly more white matter because the cortical columns of neuros are richly interconnected.

In this way, experience coming in or being recalled is held in the larger neuronal context and may be felt more as spreading waves in the body than as isolated particles of information (to borrow a metaphore from quantum physics) (likely more a metaphore than a good analogy, but who knows)

The epigenetics of meaning offer our bodies more health-supporting anti-inflammatory possibilities.

the difference between using inverventions and following the process unfolding in the space between our Gegenüber and us lies at the heart of the matter.

Interpersonal communications intertwine with our uniwue perceptual vantage-point, shaped by our life's experiences, yielding our body's sense of how safe we are in this moment. Porges's word for this unnfolding process is "neuroception", our bodies receiving, understanding, and adapting in their own unique ways to the flow of information from other bodies, particularly through face and voice quality.

One of Porges's most important contributions, from my perspective, is that these apparent abandonments don't spring from ill intent or bad character but are instead our nervous-systems responding to conditions in the most adaptive way available to them in the moment. As we begin to feel our way into this, compassion for our human condition may begin to soften the protective judghments our left hemispheres so often make when other can't be with us.

Our nervous-system titrates exposure on it's own. Therefor we can trust it.
