In this paper, I explore psychic mobility as a kind of mental/emotional kinesthesia essential to psychosomatic aliveness. I begin with Winnicott’s ideas of carrying all the sense of real and going-on-being and move toward a more future-oriented notion of going-on-becoming. I wind my way in and out of psychoanalysis, gather up metaphors from dancer/choreographer Martha Graham, and turn sideways toward queerness. Graham spoke of the need to keep a channel open, to allow for the expression of one’s unique vitality. I use an open, moving channel as a metaphor for growth and imaginative potential and an antidote for dissociated and deadened states of mind. I present a clinical example from work with a suicidal patient and an enlivening enactment that served to interrupt a dissociative free-fall. Taking up and playing with Graham’s reference to the artist’s queer divine dissatisfaction, I discuss the queering of psychoanalysis and the need for open channels that move toward equitable access to institute life and more creative forms of practice.
