I am so lucky to have had you as a classmate and journeyed through the sometimes dreadful, sometimes terrifying darkness of analytic training with you. I love how you honor Aud’s presence in your life while also recognizing the ways you’ve evolved beyond the comfort of polpette. More adventures to come!

Wendy,

Thank you for reading and for your thoughts! It really is wonderful to share my experience and connect with our community through writing. I love how you framed the delicate balance of “feeding/holding” patients vs. sitting in the pain. I appreciate your insight so much and I am glad this resonates.

All my best,
Lindsay

Justine,
Thank you for your reflections as well! It is an amazing experience to be able to do just as you said – live and watch them live it too. I remember you editing my first piece and I also cannot believe that it was 6 years ago!
Thanks again, Lindsay

Your grappling with the nuance of when to hold (or maybe even “feed”, like Aud did with you) vs. stay in the messy difficulty of painful memories and feelings seems so essential to what we all struggle with throughout our analytic work. And how wonderful to write a blog post at the beginning of your training and again at the end- to witness your own growth and to bring us all on your journey.

I also can’t believe it’s been six years since we published your initial reflections on training. The journey of psychoanalytic training is so fascinating, the personal and professional transformation that is unique to each individual and also a profound shared experience. Over the course of training, you come to believe in the psychoanalytic process, at first intellectually and later emotionally/experientially, and that belief is conveyed to our patients. Because we’ve lived it, they can live it too.

Your blog is a joy to read and a reminder of the analytic training growing pains that, if embraced, become the makings of a great analytically minded clinician!
Brava,

Hi Blair,

Wow, I am extremely touched! You gave me the idea to write a sequel blog after training 6 years ago! Thank you for your insight as a supervisor, instructor, and trusted colleague. Looking forward to collaborating more in the future.

Lindsay

I still remember your first post vividly! Aud would be so proud. Congrats on finishing training and becoming a leader at the institute!
