I wrote this piece after being privileged to attend a talk by Dr Gabor Maté on “The Myth of Normal.” He asked us to engage with his talk and weigh it up by listening with our heads, our hearts and our gut. He reminded us that there are neural connections between these areas and so in a very real sense we can receive important input from all three of these parts of ourselves.
This way of thinking makes sense to me and lines up with other thinkers of this day and age. This piece of writing is part of my way of processing.
