This article delves into the symbolic application of myths in psychoanalysis, focusing on the clinical case of Vênia, a patient profoundly affected by emotional and physical anguish. From the perspective of the importance of classical myths, but particularly personal and private ones, in the elaboration of ineffable emotional experiences, the author employs the narrative of Hecate, a Greek goddess associated with the unconscious and transformation, as a central framework for understanding Vênia's dilemmas.

The analysis highlights the patient's emotional disconnection, characterized by psychic fragmentation and resistance to forming bonds, interpreted as a struggle between forces of life and death, akin to Hecate's paradoxical attributes. Throughout the process, mythical language emerges as a therapeutic tool to organize chaotic emotional experiences and facilitate communication within the transference/countertransference field.

Moments of intense emotional regression and episodes of disconnection were gradually transformed through rêverie work, enabling the emergence of new representations and greater tolerance for frustration. This study demonstrates how myths, reinterpreted within the analytic dynamic, can provide symbolic contours to primitive experiences, fostering significant changes in the patient's capacity to think, feel, and act.
