This article proposes an original conceptualization of psychological urgency by advancing the hypothesis that it emerges at the point of encounter-or even friction-between the unconscious fantasy and the traumatic event. This novel perspective allows us to conceive of urgency not merely as the sole effect of trauma or as a simple symptomatic manifestation, but as the product of a unique articulation between psychic reality and the intrusion of the event. The confrontation between the unconscious fantasy and the traumatic event thus produces a rupture in subjective temporality, making the state of urgency a moment “outside of time,” linked to the timelessness of the unconscious. This hypothesis stems from doctoral research conducted with ten patients undergoing psychotraumatology treatment, the analysis of whom revealed several recurring clinical patterns concerning the relationships between trauma, urgency, and temporality. Our argument is illustrated by an in-depth study of a clinical case, which allows us to propose the hypothesis of a temporality specific to trauma, ranging from psychological collapse-where the subject becomes the object of their own urgency-to a possible subjective emergence, made possible by the elaboration and re-temporalization of the event. This perspective opens up new therapeutic avenues of a psychoanalytic orientation.
