We all want to survive, thrive, and love well, and are genetically wired to do so. Of course, trauma and distress intrudes and contributes to all our defensive programming. So, we are also wired to worry, be depressed, create conflicts, and get in our own way.
A common element of many trauma treatments, most psychotherapy, and much spiritual practice is something called “dual focus” — our capacity to anchor ourselves in the feeling of being safe, capable, and worthy in the present moment, while simultaneously extending our awareness to distressing feelings, thoughts, memories, impulses, judgments, and events. There is a lot of data supporting the presence of an adaptive information processing system in the brain that, under the right circumstances of dual focus, integrates traumatic memories and helps us grow to be more able, more fluent with complexity, and more at peace with the world.
Join us as Dr. Keith explores dual focus and how to bring it to bear on accelerating our personal and relational evolution.

Comments
Thank you so much dear Cory and Keith. I have enjoyed all of your offerings. They have been so rich with insight and your generous sharing of information.
Wasn’t Ken’s two elements to acquiring knowledge translation and “transmission“ (as opposed to “acquisition“) ? I have not checked to verify this, and am amazed that this is coming from my usually not so dynamic memory of conversations on Ken Wilber forums about 15- 19 years ago.
If I understand this correctly, Yoga Nidra might be added to the list of practices which also entail a dual focus.
Namaste, and in love and appreciation,
Ellen
Great you guys, thanks. I rarely listen all the way through a video, but I did this one ( I was also playing horn the whole time!)
