ABSTRACT
After a lengthy period of therapeutic engagement for Liz from 1995-2002, the work together came to an end. However, Liz returned to therapy after a break of six months having been re-traumatised at a pain clinic. Liz had first gone into therapy in the early nineties following the death of her father. As therapy progressed the experiences moved from this kind of 'no man's land' in music and the body memory to explicit memory, that is, they were now linked with left hemisphere pathways and processes in the brain. Transference is the particular dynamic shapes of feeling and sensation felt by the patient. These feelings and sensations have been experienced in the patient's past in earlier relationships and are now 'put on' to or transferred on to the therapist. The counter-transference describes the therapist's feelings in the consulting room when they meet the early feelings and sensation configurations that belong to the patient's earlier life.
