Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I welcome my brother, Dr. Nigel Thompson, for a conversation about sensation, awareness, experience, and knowing.Nigel is a university professor of counseling and psychology who has been exploring questions of consciousness, awareness, feeling, and experience for more than 25 years. Our free-ranging conversation winds through a lush and verdant landscape. We talk about awareness, knowing, and experiencing. What does it mean to know something? We talk about sensation, the nervous system, and the "self."Nigel also mentions the late Eugene Gendlin, the celebrated psychotherapist, and founder of Focusing, as well as Ann Weiser Cornell, one of Gendlin's colleagues and collaborators.Eugene Gendlin's Work: The International Focusing Institutehttps://focusing.org/felt-sense/what-focusingAnn Weiser Cornellhttps://focusingresources.comIf this information interests you, please follow the podcast.
