“Disidentification brings liberation from this unconsciousness, a breaking of the trance, a waking up of the ‘I’.”

Firman and Gila
We are dominated by everything with which our self becomes identified. We can
dominate and control everything from which we disidentify ourselves.
(Roberto Assagioli)
When we disidentify ourselves from the things in life that come and go all of the sudden our sense of self becomes more stable, strong and secure.
(Jason Schneider)
Who are we when we disidentify? The personal self, the conductor of the orchestra of subpersonalities is the obvious answer, and the ‘clear space’ created through disidentification certainly puts us in touch with this central, choosing aspect of our psyche.
(Will Parfitt)
