Thanks for this - I have read other stuff by TNH so will try to get hold of this one too.

I guess I have a naturally logical mind (did statistics at Uni) so it is hard for me to get my head around this stuff - a child? where? can't literally fit in my brain, so what exactly is it? Is there a place in my brain where it is?

I also struggle to grasp how my "body" knows about emotions - I see myself solely as a brain processing mechanism....aha but here is part of my problem I tell myself - maybe there is another reality, that cannot be seen / measured / quantified, yet still exists - I keep trying to "get it" and thanks to these posts, I have some ideas to help me discover this new way of being.
