Consciousness can be experienced in many diverse ways — such as the normal waking state, REM dreaming, states brought on by psychedelics, states of being under light anaesthetic etc. How is psychosis different from other states? And how is the sense of self experienced during psychosis? Today's guest: Shauna Winram is a PhD candidate in the School of Philosophy, Australian National University, I am so glad that she shares her research and her personal perspectives with us! TAP in to this fascinating conversation about: - How individuals may or may not realise they're in a different reality during psychosis. - How the mental-health system often fails people through lack of therapeutic support, stigma, and disempowerment. - How understanding that psychosis is part of the diversity of human experience can help reduce stigmatising these experiences - Shauna Winram's own lived experience of psychosis - Why we shouldn't romanticise these states — but need to ensure that people are helped and treated properly - Balancing ✨spirit and matter✨ - What are global states of consciousness? ...and more!
