Notes from Adam Phillips talk
Some notes of mine that I came across from an Adam Phillips talk at the The Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy in March 2024:
“Thats the pleasure if you are game, which is, allow yourself to be included in their (children's) omnipotence without feeling diminished by it and without losing your own voice.”
“You could say how horrible it is that nobody reads anymore or you could say how interesting that there are different types of people with different kinds of wants.”
“Be suspicious of those who are pursuing self knowledge. We should seek to understand others. All ailments, depression, anxiety..etc are forms of self obsession.”
“A bad memory is the same as imagination.”
