That is basically the same thing that Bromberg and Schore are saying - that early trauma, located in the non-verbal hemisphere ( usually the right), is the part of the brain the therapist should be in contact with. With this hemisphere, all the non-verbal aspects of communication ( gaze, voice tone, body movement etc.) are dominant. In order to communicate with this part of the brain, the therapist has to use the same part of his own brain, and minimize verbal interpretations. I think the idea is for the therapist to be intuitive and spontaneous, and sort of let things happen.
