A place for
the unsaid.

It is often the case that our best intentions for ourselves, and even our deepest understanding of ourselves, do not alleviate a persistent sense of suffering. It accompanies us like a partner, sometimes feeling more like part of who we are than a problem to get rid of.

Psychoanalysis makes room for a mode of speaking that does not demand mastery over what is said. It makes room for the unconscious to speak through us, and for what makes itself heard beyond what we intend to say.

The idea is that, when listened to carefully, this mode of speaking can lead to changes that a conscious decision or intellectual insight alone cannot bring about.
