14 Working Memory Experience I ll speak some numbers You add them in your head Raise your hand to report how hard it was for you: Easy raise your hand all the way up Challenging part way up Couldn t do it don t raise your hand at all

15 Working Memory Experience 4±1 chunks at a time

16 Working Memory Experience = = =18

17 Exploration & Break

18 Exploring the hos Scope of mind Patterns Optimal zone

19 Scope Mind thought perception emotion subconscious will memory habits imagination and more

20 Scope Mind instinctive behaviors learned behaviors and knowledge operating system (hos) physical body Humans

21 Biology of Mind Neurons 80% in cerebellum 19% in cerebral cortex 1% in brainstem 0.1% in spinal cord 0.1% in the gut

22 Biology of Mind Neurotransmitters fight or flight concentration pleasure mood calming learning memory euphoria

23 Biology of Mind Hormones Male Female

24 Biology of Mind Brain Neocortex many functions Limbic System emotions, memory Brainstem homeostasis

25 Biology of Mind Brain Motor Cortex muscle motions Frontal Lobe executive functions Sensory Cortex body sensations Parietal Lobe where pathway Occipital Lobe vision Temporal Lobe language what pathway Cerebellum coordinating motion

27 Human Operating System Self with choice awareness in space and time

28 Awareness conscious external sense info spacial context internal sense info word(s) or phrase(s) concept(s) affect temporal context history parts of speech subconscious associated word(s) or phrase(s) analogies associated concepts

34 Affect Territory of emotions and feelings Always present Diverse Motivational Changeable

35 Drives Growth Safety Sex Food Connection

37 Memory - Storage sensory or inner experience personal filter lost short-term memory consolidation long-term memory knowing that (declarative) knowing how (procedural) events (episodic) general knowledge (semantic) habits

38 Memory - Recall Triggered by association Activates same parts of brain as original Imagining the past Less accurate than we think

40 Pattern Just like memory, there are: Temporal patterns scenarios, if this then that Semantic patterns definitions, meaning Procedural patterns habits, action steps

42 Empire to Planetary Visual Kinesthetic Visual Kinesthetic Linguistic Linguistic

43 Linguistic-Linear

44 Linguistic-Linear Strengths: orderly, easy, quick, flexible, good for everyday communications Weaknesses: linear, 4 chunks, lowresolution, categorical thinking, symbolic representation leads to miscommunication Time as a sequence of events; works for long time-spans

45 Visual-Spacial

46 Visual-Spacial Strengths: easy to receive, huge simultaneous info, gradations, relationships Weaknesses: more effort to create, no story Time as a sequence of images; works for short time-spans

47 Kinesthetic-Somatic

48 Kinesthetic-Somatic Strengths: easy access to habits and affect, great support for other modes, source for basic metaphors Weaknesses: hard to translate into words and categories Time as embodied rhythm and flow

53 Exploration & Intermission

54 Patterns Habits Scenarios Definitions

55 Patterns The water we swim in and don t see Perception recognizes familiar patterns and creates new ones Memories are stored as patterns Thinking is exploring and modifying patterns of ideas Habits are patterns of action

56 Patterns Based On Experience external sense info spacial context internal sense info concept(s) conscious affect word(s) or phrase(s) temporal context history subconscious parts of speech associated word(s) or phrase(s) analogies associated concepts

57 Patterns Based On Experience Foot sentences Hand sentences Mouth sentences leg-related word arm-related word face-related word Louder Than Words 2012

58 Patterns Based On Each Other Generalization color red Concept blue Direct Experience Direct Experience

59 Patterns Based On Each Other Combination Concept

60 Metaphors and Frameworks They are the super-nodes in the network of patterns Metaphorical sources tend to be concrete experiences Frameworks include belief systems, mental models, ideologies, sets of working hypotheses, paradigms, etc. A framework is a set of concepts that explains how things work

61 Metaphors and Frameworks Many patterns get interpreted through metaphors or frameworks Especially important in scenarios and creating expectations negotiations are like battles vs. negotiations are like journeys Changes in metaphors and frameworks can have profound ripple effects

62 Metaphors and Frameworks Categorical Thinking vs. Continuum Thinking crossfade

63 Patterns Objects Persons and things Early and important Hardwired for it

64 Patterns Objects Metaphorical source for nouns Defined in space, independent of context Creates subconscious confusion with non-object nouns networks, patterns, systems, abstract nouns, etc. Biases us against seeing relationships and their importance

65 Patterns & Reality

72 Patterns & Reality Vs.

73 Patterns & Reality Patterns about reality are partial, selective and provisional There is always more to learn Your experience is personal and unique awareness your experience of reality mind pattern??? reality?????

75 Exploration & Break

76 Optimal Zone affect pattern You memory Integration and Synergy

77 Optimal Zone High engaged, present Performance Low Neurological Arousal High

78 Optimal Zone

79 Optimal Zone High Performance Have Fun And Get Tasks Done Low Neurological Arousal High

80 Optimal Zone High engaged, present Performance tired, hungry over stimulated Low Neurological Arousal High

81 Sympathetic-Parasympathetic connect mobilize fight or flight rest and rebuild freeze

82 Connection and Affinity Hardwired in Deep framework for safety Guide to decision-making Will die for

83 Optimal Zone High Performance withdrawn dissociated spacey anxious fearful triggered frozen panicked Low freeze rest/rebuild connect mobilize fight/flight

84 Optimal Zone High Performance dysregulated regulated dysregulated Low freeze rest/rebuild connect mobilize fight/flight

85 Regulation in Infants expresses need gives response

86 Regulation in Infants Caregiver is Infant response Child develops Kind of attachment Approx % of adults responsive has needs met self-regulation & empathy secure 60% erratic tries harder urgency & distrust anxiousresistant 20% withdraws distance & distrust nonresponsive anxiousavoidant 15% fearful or abusive circuits jammed confusion disorganized /disoriented 5%

87 Trauma Neurological overload If unresolved, leads to habitual defenses Persistent defense patterns re-groove the trauma and inhibit resolution Even minor stress contributes Defenses trigger out-of-proportion reactions, dysregulation

88 Defensive Behaviors

89 Optimal Zone High Low defensive behaviors Performance Trauma Load Low Neurological Arousal High

90 Optimal-Zone Hygiene Name it to tame it Shake it off Breathe deep Wriggle your nose, lift your cheeks, laugh Choose kindness Hug, appropriate touch Eat or rest if needed Anything that releases held stress

91 Optimal-Zone First-Aid Get agreement and shared understanding in a relationship or a group beforehand Train before you need it Center yourself first, slow down, breathe Acknowledge the signal in the trigger and commit to coming back to it Connect through empathy, kindness Return the focus to the present through breathing, body sensing, contact

92 Optimal-Zone Healing Deeper work benefits from skilled guides Needed if you are going to access more of your optimal-zone potential Somatic and cognitive Changes your relationship with your past, present and future
