Cinema with a Psychologist
“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”
 

Is it worth forgetting pain — and what do we lose along with it?
A meeting about how memory shapes our identity. We will discuss why, after a breakup, not only the relationship collapses but also a part of the “self”, and why avoiding thoughts does not bring relief.

What we’ll discuss with @psychologist_Alla:
— briefly and clearly: types of memory and how they work;
— false memories — reconstruction and distortion of recollections;
— suppression of feelings and thoughts, “mental rumination”: why forbidding thoughts doesn’t help;
— separation as a restructuring of attachment — from a shared “we-story” to an individual self;
— gentle recommendations: how to go through a breakup and grow without toxic positivity.

Meeting format: mini-lecture → film screening → tea & discussion.
