Where Phantasy Meets Reality

As a Kleinian therapist—and someone who’s sat on both sides of the couch—I know analysis isn’t about ‘fixing’ you. It’s about befriending the unseen: those raw, infantile emotions (love, rage, terror) that still puppet our adult relationships.

Here’s what to expect:
🔹 We’ll map your internal object world—why certain people feel like ‘bad bottles’ that never nourish
🔹 Play with your deepest fears (yes, Klein believed toys reveal adult conflicts too!)
🔹 Name the unnameable—how your 2-year-old self’s tantrum lives in your marriage fights

My own analysis taught me:

  • Healing isn’t erasing pain, but making meaning of it
  • The ‘bad mother’ in your head isn’t yours—it’s a phantom we can exorcise together

Why supervision matters?
Even analysts need a container for their countertransference. (Mine happens over strong Persian tea!)

Final truth:
We don’t escape our psychic skeletons—we dance with them until they feel less haunted.
