When unconscious fantasies, dynamics, object relations are ‘spoken’ through the body –from movement and gesture, to psychosomatic illness, disordered eating, conversion symptoms, through countertransference and projective identification — how can the ‘talking cure’ relieve psychosomatic suffering and create new experiences of embodiment?
