Interweaving the personal, clinical, and conceptual, this article considers complexity not only as an abstract conceptual discourse, but, more importantly, as a visceral lived reality playing itself out in the analytic space. The author suggests, with the help of case illustrations, that the move toward complexity in the psychoanalytic encounter is inextricably bound up with feelings of wholeness and connectedness, and is more likely to move the analytic process toward healing of trauma for both members of the dyad. The article argues for a more dynamic and fluid relationship between the abstract discourse of complexity systems theory and its lived form—a relationship where the tenets of complexity theory can be understood to be pointers to the experience of complexity.
