Saw the Giacometti exhibition at Tate Modern today. Bronze against brutalist concrete. One of the most wonderful sculpture exhibitions I’ve seen in recent times.

Paul Russell on hate, from a Kalsched paper on defences — but lines up with a lot of other teaching I’ve had from wise ones -— that we hate, often, because we’re afraid of love — we’ve never had it, or it caused unimaginable injury when we let in what we thought was love. 🥰

We need ego, not for inflation or self centeredness, so that we can serve, effectively and purposefully.

I’ve had some lovely feedback from the last workshop - gratifying to see the work I put into this is helping others work more relationally with “the fee”.

This sort of wisdom I think very hard to live by, in a conflictual and fraught world, where certainty is so desired.

Working with “the fee” doesn’t have to be awkward or anti-therapeutic. It can strengthen relationships.

For some time I’ve been reflective that “merged” state(s) of consciousness can be overly prevalent in modern psychotherapies and this reasoning really sums up:
![“The alchemical attitude attends to the transformation of various union states through both a solar and lunar consciousness. Lunar consciousness can be too undifferentiated, too unformed, too imaginative in an undisciplined way, and overly empathic; solar consciousness can be too penetrating, too destructive of the sensitivity of the watery lunar creation, and fixated upon being “right” rather than submitting to relatedness, body awareness, and the demands of a larger whole. Reconciling these two forms of consciousness is necessary to create a relationship that can survive as a living and functioning entity amidst negative emotions and especially abandonment threats. [Schwartz-Salant (1998) p176]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6q77pslwbzpnlp3jquy5b6ii/bafkreierf5dihk2wzhgokoglt2nmacmo2jo3xhcxlkr42xahse44xv3kcy@jpeg)

That phrase "holding space" seems to have leaked into therapy. In this stack I ask whether we therapists hold, or if that's a form of inflation...
