I’m not sure , but I think he is right, cause I suppose I’m behaving similar to what he is saying
I'm not sure why you should maintain that "psychosis is a left hemisphere dominant condition."
A typical, mind-racing deluge of associations, symbols and metaphors would suggest a breakdown of ego boundaries, with a major breach of material from the right hemisphere (?)
Agreed. I am stuck in psychosis trying to understand what has happened to me and how to regain control of my brain. And this it what it was like once triggered. I’m stuck completely in right brain and trying to recover my left hemisphere. I literally have pressure and my head feels like it needs to be popped on the whole right side of the head. What a nightmare.
Stay safe and well, Rose. Family and friends may be able to help you, if only to go with you to get some relaxing fresh air, peace and quiet, away from screens (?)
@@ericT7 thank you for your comment. Thankfully I do have family that’s been a lot of help with my recovery. And I got a great emotional support dog to help with the PTSD. We spend a lot of time in nature.
How can one heal this?
