In Anatomy of the Soul
, psychiatrist Curt Thompson teaches us how to manipulate our brains to further enrich mental wellness and relationships with our families and God.Anatomy of the Soul
combines elements of faith and science, and provides us anatomy lessons alongside with incorporating Scripture and prayer into daily meditation routines to alter the brain's patterns and thinking methods.From a scientific standpoint, Thompson gives us a thorough breakdown on how the left and right hemispheres of the brain correlate (left-brained and right-brained in layman's terms), as well as the differences between several types of emotional attachments. Thompson also explains how trauma and stressful situations presented to us in childhood affects us in our adulthood, and provides examples of how to overcome these barriers using faith as a stepping stool. We learn how to become better "known" to our families and Christ by revealing and discussing our fears about what others may think and perceive about us as people.
