This article describes the relationship between an analyst and her patient who are both children of survivors of the Armenian Genocide in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey, 1915–1923, and the impact of their shared cultural/traumatic history. It explores how their life stories came together via memories, fantasies, metaphors, and fragments of trauma. An empathic introspective stance facilitated understanding and working through of the affective, cognitive aspects of interweaving subjectivities and mutual transferences. A process of transformation from repetition to memory to the creation of coherent narratives is described.
