Abstract

The author reconstructs and theorises the immediate, challenging period that follows the end of a personal training analysis. He takes the experimental approach of self-analysing the emotional turbulence with the use of diary entries and dreams from a two-week tourist trip to Cuba, revealing his preoccupation with attempts at maintaining the psychic space established in his long analysis. He hopes his autoethnographic reverie may generate further thought and debate regarding the implications and possible meanings of this universal but underreported time-point for the psychoanalytic clinician; and be of interest to others who may have similar experiences they connect with.
