hi Rod,
in your opinion, what could (should) a therapist do differently once they learn more about Damasio & Penrose's theories? How would this affect the majority of adults in therapy?Are you referring to Antonio R. Damasio, by the way?
JenStarPS - it may have nothing to do with how I process memories, but I really do like adulthood better than childhood! (But that's a loooong story....)

Detail oriented folks may not accept such general sweeping reports of something barely understood. So what? I saw the benefits of accepting this premise and employing insightful use of its essence.

It takes 1/10th the time to understand a three dimensional model of a product compared to something in a drawing or a picture (two dimensional). Children store memories as feelings, whereas adults store memeories as pictures, with feelings only adding value to the picture (Roger Penrose on the web). This is only one small example for exploring the advantages of adulthood over childhood. BTW, we are adults. Assuming we aren't creates a distorted reality, a faulty fantasy world.
