Reply to "Thoughts on Dr. Lisa Feldmann Barrett's Work and Triune Brain Myth?"

Melissa, I’m with you; having a lot of cognitive dissonance (maybe that isn’t even a thing).  My question is how do we explain the effects of trauma on the brain and brain development?  And does this new theory then effect the brain science behind ACEs?

Hi Elaine, thank you for your reply! I think it's just a shift to talking about the brain science from a perspective of what specific regions of the brain are responsible for and how their development is impacted by ACEs. I saw this recommended as one way to navigate/explore specific regions and their roles: https://www.brainfacts.org/3d-...alse&focus=Brain

I also think I'm going to use things like the window of tolerance (NICABM has a good infographic) and talking about sensations we experience and the relationship to emotions. It just feels inappropriate to keep using the triune model now that I know, so I want to be purposeful about what I share instead!
