Bromberg: Standing in the Spaces

One of the longer and harder talks. What alternatives are there to a sense of myself as an eternal soul or pure consciousness? Philip Bromberg was one of the key figures in the development of the 'relational turn' in psychoanalysis. His idea that our sense of a continuous 'me' is better understood as a succession of transitory 'self-states', called forth in and through relationship. Can we move flexibly between these as needed, or do we remain stuck by what we dissociate from as 'not me'?
