this is really interesting. i've always understood left brain/right brain thinking to be about reason or logic versus emotion or artistic mind.
i have a hard time with that because i don't really think of it as a dichotomy. i'm empathic and artistic but there are also many parts of me that are very type-a, logically-minded.
in dialectical behavior therapy, it's taught that empathy comes from wise mind (which is a balance of reason + emotion + intuition).
i would love to know more about how you see it because i had not really thought of it specifically in terms of left brain/right brain before.
