In this episode, my guest is Dr. Allan Schore, Ph.D., a faculty member in the department of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles, a longtime clinical psychotherapist, and a multi-book author. We discuss how early child-parent interactions shape brain circuitry, impacting our ability to form attachments, manage emotions, and navigate conflict and stress. We cover how the development of right-brain circuitry related to emotional processing and the unconscious mind regulates physiological responses, influencing adult friendships and romantic relationships. We also explore how improving your ability to listen to the emotional tone—rather than just the meaning—of words is a vital skill for fostering better relationships with yourself and others, and how it plays a role in reshaping brain circuitry.Additionally, we explain how circuits in the right brain hemisphere drive creativity and intuition and discuss activities to access the unconscious mind. This episode delves into how the unconscious mind regulates emotions—both your own and others’—and shapes our sense of self. By the end, you’ll have new knowledge and tools to build more secure, meaningful, and impactful connections of all kinds: professional, romantic, familial, friendships, and beyond.Access the full show notes for this episode, including referenced articles, resources, and people mentioned at hubermanlab.com.Use Ask Huberman Lab, our chat-based tool, for summaries, clips, and insights from this episode.Thank you to our sponsorsAG1: https://drinkag1.com/huberman David Protein: https://davidprotein.com/huberman Eight Sleep: https://eightsleep.com/huberman Function: https://functionhealth.com/huberman Timestamps00:00:00 Dr. Allan Schore00:02:37 Sponsors: David & Eight Sleep00:05:49 Thoughts & Unconscious Mind00:07:36 Right vs Left Brain, Child Development, Attachment00:13:19 Attachment Styles & Development, Emotions & Physiology00:18:12 Intuition, Arousal, Emotional Regulation & Attachment00:23:13 Psychobiological Attunement, Repair; Insecure & Anxious Attachment00:28:33 Attachment Styles, Regulation Theory; Therapy00:34:20 Sponsor: AG100:35:51 “Surrender,” Therapy, Patient Synchronization00:39:46 Synchrony, Empathy, Therapy & Developing Autoregulation00:45:07 Mother vs Father, Child Development; Single Caretakers00:50:51 MDMA, Right Brain; Fetal Development00:55:58 Sponsor: Function00:57:46 Integrating Positive & Negative Emotions, Quiet vs Excited Love01:03:33 Splitting, Borderline; Therapy & Emotions01:09:24 Tool: Right Brain, Vulnerability & Repair01:15:32 Right vs. Left Brain, Attention01:19:26 Right Brain Synchronization, Eye Connection, Empathy01:25:39 Music & Dogs, Resonance01:30:58 Right Brain & Body; Empathic Connection, Body Language01:36:47 Tool: Text Message, Communication, Relationships01:42:18 Right Brain Dominance & Activities; Tool: Fostering the Right Brain01:50:10 Defenses, Blind Spots01:53:14 Creativity, Accessing the Right Brain, Insight01:59:31 Paternal Leave, Parent-Child Relationships, Attachment02:05:16 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, Sponsors, YouTube Feedback, Protocols Book, Social Media, Neural Network Newsletter Disclaimer & DisclosuresLearn more about your ad choices.
