“When we are aware of our emotions and are able to share them with others, our daily lives are enriched because it is through the sharing of emotions that we deepen our connections with others.”

Bilateral integration - left hemisphere (linear and logical) connects to right hemisphere (non linear emotional)
Temporal integration - Connecting processes across time through story integration
