“…Stress, a psychological and physiological experience, activates the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which is responsible for the body's "fight or flight" response (Slonim, 2014). A noninvasive, objective means of assessing sympathetic activation can be obtained via sensors attached to the skin for assessment of skin conductance level (SCL).…”

A total of 59 undergraduate students provided self-reports on measures of dispositional mindfulness and perceived stress. Physiological recordings of skin conductance levels were collected during a 15-min resting period. Hierarchical regressions demonstrated a significant association between greater dispositional mindfulness and less perceived stress, as well as lower resting physiological stress (skin conductance levels). These findings replicate previous reports of associations between mindfulness and psychological markers of stress and also present a novel association of dispositional mindfulness and an objective measurement of physiological stress underscoring the potential physiological stress-reducing effects of a mindful disposition.

“…All this seems a long way from the psychoanalytic understanding of either the "skin ego" (Anzieu, 1989, p. 62) or somatic, polyvagal experience (Slonim, 2014). Yet, as Clough and Jacob Johanssen (2020) discuss, the skin ego and the thing-self also mark some limits of how being is experienced, or known by others, online and offline.…”

Mediated psychotherapy, transitional space and cybernetic capitalism

My focus is on how psychoanalysis and digital worlds influence each other: how they shape and comprehend each other through the human, the posthuman, various new digital processes and cybernetic agents. Together, they create entanglements of consciousness, affect and unconscious processes that are intricate and wide-ranging. They are intricate, too, by interweaving with psychoanalytic theory, illustrated here through the concept of transitional space. They also interweave with a rich body of contemporary social theory and I draw on Bernard Stiegler’s work to show how these extensive bodies of psychotherapy and critical theory relate in important ways to each other. Critical theory is often sensitised to psychoanalysis, but it is also highly critical of the way digital capitalism constructs new cybernetic worlds, the “psychopathologies of cognitive capitalism”, as Neidich (2017) terms it. Patricia Clough (2018) describes these developments as “the user unconscious”, the other- than-human agencies increasingly at work beyond and below the threshold of human consciousness. I emphasise that practitioners cannot avoid these developments, and I conclude by asking how, as psychotherapists in democratic societies, we best engage effectively and critically with them.

“…Research agendas including brain/body measurements are sustained in part by the fact that there are intrinsic cognitive mechanisms, related to body awareness and sense of self, integrating and monitoring visceral information; a process known as interoception (Craig, 2002;Slonim, 2014;Quadt et al, 2018). Interoception is a global concept encompassing a plethora of processes: neuro/humoral body-to-brain signals, neurocognitive dynamics associated to the integration of those signals, the influence of those dynamics on extended brain/body functional networks, and the associated unfolding of metacognitive processes (Valk et al, 2016;Quadt et al, 2018).…”

“…This hypothesis suggests that part of the emotional experience and perception is sustained by implicit and continuous brain monitoring of the internal organs of the body, such as the heart. These process would depend on autonomic signals mediated by the vagus nerve (Slonim, 2014).…”
