Abstract

This work proposes a journey through the field of psychoanalysis based on the thread that guides sexuality as traumatic and the transference, taking as its axis the penetrating power of the word in transference that traverses and inscribes. Starting from Freud’s first writings on the etiology of hysteria to his later elaborations on trauma as that which erupts outside of time and escapes meaning, we follow Lacan in his belief that the symptom is also a language, and that it is through the analyst’s listening that it can be transmuted. The journey of Emma, my first analysand, is the narrative that sustains and embodies this theoretical journey. A language worker, she knew the anatomy of sound, but her unconscious language had not been heard. She longed for a child, but had not yet given birth to herself; her body, like the trauma, awaited a symbolic inscription. Analysis paved the way for desire to find a name, for time to cease being merely Cronos and open up to Aion. Sexuality, previously experienced as masochistic repetition, began to take shape as creation. Freudian theory of infantile sexuality and the three periods of Oedipus in Freud and Lacan serve as compasses in this journey. What was once a symptom became a lack, the body was able to desire, and desire fertilized; more than generating a child, Emma generated herself as a subject. Just as the Freudian Emma became pregnant through a word, so did mine: it was through transference and speaking that her psychic womb was able to become fertile. Symbolic efficacy found a home in her unconscious and, there, gave birth to another way of being. This work, therefore, is also a defense of the symbolic efficacy of words in contemporary clinical practice. In a time of images, medicalization, egg freezing, and diagnoses, I reaffirm the place of listening to desire, of burning sexuality, and of metaphor as a creative act, capable of giving birth not only to children, but also to subjects.
