Psychiatrist and researcher Dr Dan Siegel use a hand model of the brain to try to simplify and teach about the brains structures. Building on this, today I discuss the three basic levels of the brain, the brain stem or reptile brain, the mammalian brain or limbic system and the pre frontal cortex and how I believe they relate to some of the problems we face with OCD. I hope you find it helpful.
