An "In Our Right Minds" award-winning Film Screening Event was followed Dale's update on brain research, and then by this Q & A / Audience Commentary. See the film at https://www.inourrightminds.net/watch-the-film.html
The Balance between Feminine and Masculine Energies, Mechanistic Logic and Intuition (left brain and right brain), Mental Health, and Human Connection
Modern society overemphasizes logic, structure, and efficiency (left brain) while undervaluing intuition, empathy, and creativity (right brain)
True human experience is rooted in connection, presence, and relationships with others
Rapid technological growth is increasing disconnection, anxiety, and emotional distance
Self-expression (speaking, singing, storytelling) is important for emotional release and inner balance
Mental health conditions (like schizophrenia or dissociation) highlight different ways of perceiving reality, not just “abnormality”
Healing involves integration of different parts of the self into a cohesive whole
Everyone has multiple internal aspects or identities that must be balanced
Indigenous and holistic perspectives emphasize community, storytelling, and harmony with nature
Systems like education, healthcare, and workplaces often dismiss intuitive or emotional approaches unless backed by data
Presence and empathy are essential in healing professions and human interactions
Many people carry trauma, and healing requires compassion, self-awareness, and reconnection
Kindness, listening, and valuing every voice are essential for collective well-being
