Curiosity &
Understanding


 


We sometimes talk about becoming a more authentic self.
        But how can we ask ourselves to be more authentic
    than what we already are?

                Dispelling with authenticity,
                     and turning instead to multiplicity and nuance,
        is one way of stepping into the realm of psychoanalysis.
