Conversational Connectedness Between the Two Mind/Brains: The key to mental health

Evolutionary consciousness has unfolded for eons via nonverbal “nature” intelligences, only recently joined in human consciousness by the verbal/virtual mind. This has produced both heavens and hells, depending on whether the two “brain/mind” intelligences are interconnected (eco-mind) or dissociated (isolated ego-mind). We will examine multiple research findings suggesting that dissociation between these two mind/brains is the common underlying condition for pervasive suffering, and how the restoration of positive interconnectedness can be skillfully done in psychotherapy and the larger community. Special attention will be given to recent neuroscience findings, accelerating trends of diagnostic disorders, and relevant clinical methods.
