ABSTRACT
Daniel Stern, whose work blends developmental psychology with psychoanalytic insights, speaks of ‘implicit knowing’ – our ‘non-symbolic, nonverbal, procedural awarenesses’:
we feel it in our body and sense it in our mind, together. You can also grasp what a group is experiencing. Our nervous systems are constructed to be captured by the nervous systems of others . . . we resonate with and participate in their experiences, and they in ours.21
