⌬ Lecture №6 | Transference, the Ego, & the Stories We Tell to Make Stuff "Makse Sense"
In this Podcast lecture, I do a more extensive review of the concepts of transference & the ego. After that, I try to explain how both of these are stories that we tell, which are filled with errors, and how it is not possible to have no errors in these stories. I also try to explain how the process of psychotherapy might be one way to help people come to realize the errors in their stories, and then make different choices.

Review:
- Transference - A story we tell ourselves about someone else (the other / the Other)
- The ego - An air traffic controller, a story we tell ourselves, an act we put on, a part we play.
The Story is Wrong, and that's OK:
People will believe that the story they tell themselves is true, accurate, that it is who they are, but it is not! Rather that is true is the stuff that does not make sense that is under that story.

- Examples of things that don't make sense but are true anyway.
- Instagram example
(Ironically) I hope this all made sense.
