This presentation will outline how the analyst can unobtrusively create the space within which the fullness of the patient’s unsymbolized internal world and trauma can be realized and companioned. Rather than bringing the patient into the analyst’s reality and understanding, healing arises from being known in the register of illusion, fragmentation and non-relatedness that are the signature of the residue of trauma and neglect.
