The following is an attempt to delineate a state of mind deemed “therapeutic.” Bion’s (1967) paper on “Memory and Desire” has been a prevailing influence. Eigen serves as another source of inspiration (e.g., Eigen, 2005).

First, I would like to address what it is I find I do or do not do as a therapist. It might be noted that all I “do or do not do” is in itself a wrong way of addressing things, for, more accurately, I would say that something happens in the therapeutic encounter and that this “happening” determines my actions and moves as much as it is determined by them. When the process begins, I am taken, so to speak. But—and this I think is essential—comfortably taken. Mostly, when a patient enters a session I find I do nothing. It is not true to say I listen. Listening is too active, too heavy. When I listen I usually hear, and so the end was prescribed. When I listen, that is, I seek to impose my being (taste, associations, needs of . . .) on the created field. So I try not to listen. If I do hear the patient I hear him or her despite my not listening, and here a pressure begins to accumulate that is relevant. There is a presence, an intonation, a rhythm of speech that is made apparent, that emerges from, the patient’s speech and forces itself, so to speak, on me. I change. This is, admittedly, uncomfortable. I become, for a moment, not myself. I find myself elsewhere. Something is happening to me, some string pulling me somewhere out of myself. I am, each time, and over and over
