00:00 Iain is a unique voice in that he marries the humanities (philosophy) and science (medicine) which gives him a broad view of the world.
02:10 Writing my current book Mind Medicine /Emotional Alchemy (provisional title) looking at changing consciousness and therefore health through implicit memory pattern change
04:10 Parts therapy/ IFS (internal family systems) therapy- disembodied parts argue with eachother.
May talk to the left brain dominant!! Needs a therapist to pull back a more holistic view
06:05 A Medicine more Fit for Humanity - my commentary. Very left brain dominant procedural occupation focused on technology and humans as machines
08:00 Lose contextual information and meaning when we look at the world this way, lacks feeling and relational dynamic between us and the world we perceive
09:20 Left hemisphere sees the world in parts, (ignores the right hemisphere), deluded in its representation, competition, grabbing, using things - society follows this sadly (narcissism?)
13:41 The 2 sides are complementary, conserved in all mammals, separated by Corpus Callosum
15:06 The way we pay attention changes what we find in the world and who we are! Disembodied, disconnected may be as a result of the deficit of the right brain.
16:20 Medicine is an example of 'left brain' approach that seeks to understand things by studying constituent parts. Right brain understands there is uncertainty in understanding anything this way and we have to have a more wholistic view - opening up to possibility!
17:25 Transforming people into the realm of possibility - where diagnosis goes wrong - Life Beneath the Labels. Left brain that seeks control the uncontrollable takes us down into disconnect. and fear
19:26 Getting into implicit, creative view of the world. (work of Martha Beck) getting out of anxiety by getting into the body and looking at your whole world view not as malfunctioning machine.
20:50 Any dis-ease is biopsychosocial - reflecting the whole of you. Needs to be treated as such
21:26 Left hemisphere creates a map of the world which is inaccurate, but very compelling. Doctors train in this very view, which limits their ability to help suffering people (a problem of reductionist, technological medical training).
23:50 This hurts not only patients but also medical professionals - no connection leads to mental health issues for all
24:40 Complex systems (which we are) need complex nuanced solutions to learn about themselves in the depth of their being.
