Is what he said about the two parts of the brain a physical manifestation of the nefesh habahamis and the nefesh hasichlis. How does this very clear explanations of two parts of the brain connect with what we learn in tanya about souls?

Wow, great discussion with so much more to be discovered. Thank you
jews are an example of survival, not trauma,
our legacy is survival, not trauma,
the secular obsession to blame everything on parents is felt right here in this conversation,
we can help people heal without teaching them to blame everyone in their past, which ultimately teaches them to blame themselves too
