Hi Ritch.. I don't think you are alone in thinking that your work is utiliizing your left hemisphere- pretty much all the work that we all do requires a lot of left hemisphere work, and not much input from the right, unless, of course, one is an artist, architect, dancer, musician, etc- those lucky people get to use both hemispheres most of the time.
I do think that people working with computers may particularly feel a lack of emotion, spontaneity,connectedness to others and physical relaxation. It is hard, lonely, very detailed work. Short of changing careers, I suppose the best thing to do is to fill in your free hours with activities which allow the other parts of you to be fully engaged- music, dance, art, warm relationships with others, and sports where you get in closer touch with your own body. But I should say that all of us in today's world are challenged in our efforts to try to live full and balanced lives, using as much as we can of what we have inside of us. Time seems to be the biggest roadblock!
