ABSTRACT
The conception, both psychotherapeutic and poetic comes initially out of experiences as a practitioner, which will be familiar to many, in which one works with someone in a stuck space—and hangs in there with them, not doing very much, just enough to maintain the alliance, whilst the therapist struggles with their internal process, and the client with whether they can cope with, either the oppression of their silence or confusion, or their impulse to speak, in the face of fear or shame. It will be clear enough in the text how the “Freudian infinite”, in this analysis, interplays with the “Hegelian infinite”. It is characteristic of any particular communication to have an overt emphasis into one infinity dimension or another, with other dimensions less prominent but still latently there. They have to wrestle with the full implications of all of: embodiment and relationality and meaning.
