Why it might be better to lose yourself than find yourself
Prof. Fiona Lobban
Although many of us spend a lot of time thinking about ourselves, most of us don’t spend much time thinking about how we conceptualise our “self”. You are cordially invited to come to the ISF breakfast briefing to wonder about the nature of your “self” and specifically the role it plays in your mental wellbeing. We will consider a hotchpotch of ideas ranging through psychotherapy, dissociative states of self, Buddhism, and psychedelic trips. You will be challenged to consider how different ways of conceptualising the self could be linked to different mental health futures. Beware – its more of a dog’s breakfast than a breakfast briefing! But you are very welcome to join in.
