      ABSTRACT

      The consequence of that connection can be active or receptive. Trauma in the womb or during the first six months of life will impair the connection with one’s own body and emotions as well as with other people – all right-hemisphere functions. Right hemisphere (RH) to RH relating implies a subject to subject connection, the experience of embodiment in both partners, and an open-ended, exploratory process-orientation. Only right-hemisphere therapy – experiential, embodied, empathic and intersubjective – can help the client access this state of connection. One final example of right hemisphere work is the exploration of a dream within a group setting. Classical psychoanalysis claims to work with the unconscious of the client, but it is usually the left brain of the therapist analysing the products of the client’s right brain and translating them into a LH interpretation.
