Heather discusses how our sense of self is a complex illusion shaped by memories and experiences, revealing that losing this sense can drastically alter one's perception of self. The conversation also touches on how altered states, such as those induced by psychedelics, can provide therapeutic benefits by dissolving self-consciousness and fostering a profound sense of connection.In this clip
