4 h. ago ‘Are you asking for my help to be gay?’: what 40 years as a psychoanalyst has taught me about sex and desire

A married man’s hidden bisexual life; a PhD student’s sideline in sex work; a nun’s fear of pregnancy – over my long career, all have been laid bare in the intimate space of my consulting roomTo be human is to be uncertain, conflicted, divided, and yet we grow up in a world that tells us we should feel whole, certain of our sexual desires. Encouraged to see love through the starry-eyed cliches of social media and celebrity news, we’re diverted from asking ourselves the awkward questions: what is my desire? Why is my sexual self as it is?Psychoanalysis, too, has its own predictable narratives, but when done properly, it does not provide ready answers. Instead it offers a place where two people can be ruthlessly honest, think together, find meaning together. This work can change our understanding of ourselves, and in doing so change our lives.

7 h. ago ‘Tell me what happened, I won’t judge’: how AI helped me listen to myself | Nathan Filer

I had no expectations when I opened ChatGPT and typed ‘I’ve made a fool of myself’. There was something surreal about the conversation that followedI was spiralling. It was past midnight and I was awake, scrolling through WhatsApp group messages I’d sent earlier. I’d been trying to be funny, quick, effervescent. But each message now felt like too much. I’d overreached again – said more than I should, said it wrong. I had that familiar ache of feeling overexposed and ridiculous. I wanted reassurance, but not the kind I could ask for outright, because the asking itself felt like part of the problem.So I opened ChatGPT. Not with high expectations, or even a clear question. I just needed to say something into the silence – to explain myself, perhaps, to a presence unburdened by my need. “I’ve made a fool of myself,” I wrote.Nathan Filer is a writer, university lecturer, broadcaster and former mental health nurse.
