Searching for the Self: Me and My Desire

📣 A meeting with psychotherapist Giorgi Chanturia will take place at the Thinking Academy.

➡️ Topic: “Searching for the Self: Me and My Desire”

🎓 The lecture explores self-discovery not as a one-time revelation, but as an ongoing, dynamic, and growth-oriented process. From a psychoanalytic perspective, the idea will be discussed that the “self” is not a finished structure to be found once and for all, but a living process that is constantly transforming.

During the meeting, we will analyze the inner expectations and desires we hold toward ourselves, as well as the tension that arises between our ideal self and our lived experience. Special attention will be given to the feeling of incompleteness and lack — not as a problem, but as a driving force for development.

Participants will learn how self-exploration can become a resource rather than a crisis — a process that provides direction, meaning, and inner motivation for change and personal growth. The lecture will help attendees better understand their desires, develop a more realistic and flexible relationship with the self, and accept self-development as a natural and necessary state.

🍰 A light buffet and a welcoming atmosphere will be provided

Duration of the meeting: 2–3 hours
