ABSTRACT The author discusses “silence” as key to her analytic work with adults and children. Silence refers to a quality of presence, of listening and “being with the patient.” In silence, human connection and love can arise and healing occurs, as a deeper feeling for life’s mystery enters. Moments of communion may awaken the healing power of love through feeling, images, and sensations, allowing the creative energies of the psyche to enter analytic work in a way that heals and transforms suffering. The author presents cases of a severely traumatized child and an adult to illustrate how, by admitting silence and love, the self begins to emerge with joyous spontaneity.
