This is caused by experiences that are traumatic enough to permanently shut down part, or most of the communication across the corpus callosum, resulting in a loss of functional integration of specific areas of the brain. It manifests as physiological and mental confusion with symptoms such as a lack of spatial awareness, confusion between right and left, struggle to be in ‘now-time’, being ‘all-in-the-head’ and cut off from feelings, as well as learning and memory problems, etc.
Deep-level switching is a neurological phenomenon that results in switched hemispheric processing (where left brain signals are sent to the right and vice versa, causing confusion and slowed function).
In Integrated Healing our approach is to reintegrate the brain and clear the stressors that are causing the ‘dis’-integration of the brain. By addressing the resulting dysfunctions in interaction caused between parts of the brain, such as the limbic system, Amygdala, hippocampus, the corpus callosum, and anterior commissure (the two major neurological structures that connect the left and right hemispheres), we can restore optimal brain function.
