But change never just happens. It’s something we have to work at

left side of the brain that helps you think logically and organize thoughts into sentences, and a right side that helps you experience emotions and read nonverbal cues. You also have a “reptile brain” that allows you to act instinctually and make split-second survival decisions, and a “mammal brain” that leads you toward connection and relationships.

That’s what integration does: it coordinates and balances the separate regions of the brain that it links together.
