An extended therapy vignette touches dialectics between self-attack and moments of peace. The patient draws on implicit trauma worlds in tension with a deep sense of strength and beauty, as well as helplessness. Change occurs in partly unknown ways, growing out of therapy talk, sensing, and felt interaction. Therapeutic exercises add to the background mix, making use of fusions-oppositions of self-attack and moments of peace, both adding to growth.
