Abstract

Ego fights against the pre-conceptual trauma by way of its tiny fragmentation and projection onto the external world, inside the mind that contains the experience. Later, trauma penetrates time’s caesura and presents itself as a cruel, controlling, and threatening internal object, which deprives ego of its right to well-being. In transference, it is perceived as a powerful resistance to absorb interpretation.
