What do you do when everyone is telling you a different story? How do you form you own opinion when everyone around you is arguing? Through 'Thought Play', I take seemingly opposing theories and combine them together to create something new. Using the 'Tiger Tank', I vicariously deal with one of humanities most divisive issues - religion - through the analogy of visiting a zoo. I also discuss how alternative perspectives can build empathy, and develop what Dabrowski referred to as SUBJECT-OBJECT THINKING.
Dabrowski’s theory of positive disintegration is a psychology framework for understanding intense experiences that often look and feel like mental illness, but which can also be viewed as building blocks for creating an authentic personality. This theory also talked about OE in gifted and creative people as 'developmental potential', and proposes that the intense and sensitive people may have a different view of the world, and an accelerated pathway through crisis to a more authentic self.
If you're exploring better ways to manage your mental health, a gifted or creative person who feels the world intensely, or going through a crisis (dark night of the soul), this channel might be for you!
