This discussion of Annette Richard's treatment of her patient, Beatrice, highlights the crucial role of gender and the sexed body in this female analyst–female patient dyad. Annette helped Beatrice develop a sense of agency as Annette lived through Beatrice's devastating states of panic, loss of self, and fears of being alone. Annette's openness about her personal parallel struggles and self-revelation provided and expanded a sense of empathy during trying times of inevitable misattunements, leading to mutual transformation. My deep resonance with these themes of invisibility and denigration of embodied female experience is illustrated in a personal vignette from my medical student days.
