The Brain of Presence

Understanding how presence shapes the mind, the brain, and human experience.

The brain never functions entirely alone.

Even without direct interaction, the presence — or absence — of others influences the way we perceive, feel, think, and regulate ourselves.

After more than 40 years of research in neuroscience and a clinical practice as a psychologist and EMDR therapist, I created this channel to explore a fundamental idea:

👉 the brain does not function the same way when others are present… or absent.

The Brain of Presence explores the links between neuroscience, trauma, psychotherapy, the social brain, attachment, emotional regulation, and the nervous system.

Neuroscience explained simply, at the intersection of scientific research, psychotherapy and human experience.

👉 At what point does the presence of others begin to shape the brain?
