In this episode, we explore the intricate concept of personality, often referred to as the “self,” “ego,” or “I.” Throughout the discussion, these terms may be used interchangeably, each adding a nuanced understanding to what we perceive as our identity. Typically, personality is defined as a collection of behavioral, cognitive, and emotional patterns that distinguish one person from another. However, in this episode, we delve deeper into a more complex definition. We describe personality as a set of content patterns based on mental context—our underlying mental framework.
The challenge of defining personality lies in its ever-changing nature. Just as a complex matrix is constantly evolving, so too is our mental context, shaped by countless factors such as the books we read, the people we meet, the cultures we are part of, and even our genetic and environmental influences. These elements are in a continuous state of flux, making it nearly impossible to pinpoint a single, unchanging personality.
We also discuss the internal dialogues we have with ourselves—those moments of internal debate and conflict that suggest the presence of multiple personas within us. Just like an orchestra where each musician plays a different role yet contributes to a harmonious whole, our internal personalities strive for balance and cohesion. However, when one note is out of tune, it can create a sense of discord, which may manifest as mental or personality disorders.
Further, we examine the concept of trauma, its impact on our mental framework, and how significant events can alter our personality. Trauma, in this context, is described as a severe expectation error that fundamentally changes the content and structure of our mental space. We also explore why children are more susceptible to trauma due to their developing cognitive abilities and limited understanding of the world.
