The right hemisphere is dominant for attention. Okay? I mean, this baby and this mother, literally, she's focusing our attention on that baby's face, tone, voice. But there are two different types of attentions. strong neuroscience to show this. The left brain operates by narrow attention, narrowly focused attention.

The best example of narrowly focused attention is you are following my words one after the other. But there's another type of attention which is used by the right brain, which is called wide-ranging attention, which comes right out of Freud. which he also called, maybe you'll remember this, evenly suspended attention.

It's the same thing, which is much wider than that. And that form of attention is the form of attention that the right brain has. Because the attention at that point in time is not only of... what's coming from the outside, but also attention to what's happening in the inside, my own inside, the changes in my own physiology at that point in time also.

So yes, there are these two different forms of attention. And essentially, the only way someone who was just narrow all the time, let's take a personality who just lives in the left hemisphere.

Exactly. Hyperlogical, hyperrational, cannot really see the big picture, but literally that kind of a situation. So essentially, that kind of a person is always looking at the narrow aspects of it and cannot see the broader context. the broader context, because there's a context that's being set up.

Right now, between you and I, there's also a context that's being set up, and that context also has to it a kind of a feeling of safety and trust as we literally just go off wherever our thoughts are with some idea that literally you'll be able to follow that and you'll come back with me at the same time.

So the context, the emotional atmosphere between us changes when you go left into the right like that. The point here is that it used to be thought that the only way you could understand the brain... was by looking more intra-psychically into one brain. If you understood how one brain worked and everything was intra-psychic. But then there's the interpersonal part of it.

And so essentially what we're moving now from a one-person intra-psychic psychology to a two-person interpersonal psychology. You see what I mean by two-person? I got the mother here, got the baby there. I got the patient here, I got the therapist there. And between them literally are going back and forth at all periods of time right brain to right brain communications underneath the conversation.
