With much gratitude to Jade McGleughlin and Dominique Scarfone I take up their comments on “The Untelling.” I address remembering versus repeating and suggest that this dichotomy excludes the creative and transformational qualities of the untelling and diminishes the eloquence of action in psychoanalysis. I take issue with an idea of meaningless enactments and argue that there is always meaning emerging in the realm of the untelling. I clarify that the ontological turn does not demote meaning but tilts into a different register of meaning and argue that Laplanche de-emphasized the affective and painful aspects of psychoanalytic process. I agree with the necessity of the analyst’s inner work as essential to psychoanalytic transformation and suggest that containment involves exactly that level of processing. I suggest that the focus on re-living of trauma and doer/done to dynamics are iterations of filled-in enactments and can obscure the potential for transformation in the dimension of the hollowed out. I endorse the dimension of happening as transformational in psychoanalysis
