WHAT IS NORMAL THINKING? - Our goal doing the exercises

Have you ever wondered how normal people thinks? Can you remember the way you use to think prior to DP/DR?  I have developed a very simple graphical model for us to understand the stages through which passes a derealized person until  a complete healing.

In today's post we will learn how the two brain hemispheres alternate to participate in the thought of a healthy person complementing each other.

Balanced hemisphere workload = normality

Everyone has two hemispheres that  share the continuous workload of thinking:

• Left Hemisphere : Specializing in words , reading & writing both oral and written, numerical symbols, mathematical concepts, sequential procedures, step by step, left h. is analytical and likes the precision. It is the hemisphere of the logic (cause and effect) and the practical side of things. It likes to generalize and create models. It is more introverted and apathetic.

• Right Brain: Specializing in tasks that require creativity , innovation , taste for art , colors , concepts of space and time , able to appreciate the big picture of things, not be very accurate, it is dealt with linking what we feel with the EMOTIONS. He likes the particular cases and details of things in the real world . It's funny and outgoing. It's dumb, can not speak.

Logical left brain vs Emotional right brain

At the same time, the left hemisphere controls the right side of the body (including the right visual field) and the right h. controls our left side (including the left visual field).

As you can see from the chart , a normal person can not prevent that both hemispheres provide information when making a decision. Here appears the famous saying:

"Thinking with your head against thinking with your heart"

We are even aware when we asked for a logical judgment (cause and effect) and when asked for a emotional trial to our brain. The final decision will depend on what weighs more in our personality (more intuitive and sensitive people vs. more logical).

An ideally situation for an optimal mental health is that both hemispheres contribute roughly the same amount of information to our consciousness. Consciously our thinking comes and goes (access) the information saved in both hemispheres to perceive the world and make decisions, the right hemisphere can even access the emotional register which certain memories are impregnated with .
