Working with Three Brains and the Irrelevance of Individuals in Emotions
When addressing emotional work, it is essential to engage the three brains – the intellectual (prefrontal cortex), the emotional (mammalian part), and the reptilian nervous system. Transformation is slower if all three levels are not involved. The intellectual part is crucial, but its deconstruction is necessary to allow emotional work to progress. It is highlighted that individuals are essentially irrelevant in the grand scheme of things, as the impact and remembrance of an individual are minimal in the broader context. In emotional work, disabling the brain's influence can be more effective than attempting to convince someone, as the inherent irrelevance of individuals makes convincing ineffective.
