In this interview, I’m joined by Dr Bonnie Badenoch. Bonnie is a psychotherapist, mentor, teacher and author, who has spent the last 15 years integrating the discoveries of relational neuroscience and the work of Iain McGilchrist into the art of therapy. In 2008, she co-founded the nonprofit agency Nurturing the Heart with the Brain in Mind, which aims to cultivate spaces in which people can learn and heal, and foster supportive communities which practice presence together. She is the author of several books, including: The Heart of Trauma, The Brain-Savvy Therapist's Workbook, and Being a Brain-Wise Therapist.

In this free flowing conversation, we discuss:

— Iain McGilchrist’s hemisphere hypothesis and its relevance for therapeutic practice

— Interpersonal neurobiology, social baseline theory, and the research underpinning Bonnie’s radical approach to healing

— The power of having a “listening partner” and how you can set one up to foster more secure attachment in your world

And more.
