Part Two: Working with Your Brain
by Jay Lambert, MSW, LCSW, NHAC
Last month I wrote about the overall structure of the human brain, and explained in very basic detail the three layers that make up our brain - namely the reptilian, mammalian, and primate layers. Each of these layers has different strengths and weaknesses, and each is designed to fulfill a specific purpose. Knowing how these different parts fit together - and how that doesn’t always work out so well - is key to understanding so much of our own behavior.
