Data analysis revealed three clusters of themes. The first cluster is associated with the conditions leading to impasse, as suggested when I engage and establish trust from my patients like Shelley Jo. Themes in this cluster include an idealizing transference influenced by a parental wound, then re-opening those wounds, a compliant interpersonal style, and an awareness of the multifaceted interplay of transference like when I lied to Shelley Jo when I promised never ever to hurt her I did like her parents did so many years ago that established her pain in the first place.—counter transference responses. The second cluster surrounds the rupture of the analytic frame. Themes here include the awareness of impasse, attempts at helping the analyst resolve the impasse, loss of symbolic function; analyst acting out, intense sensory experiences, and deep emotional pain. The final cluster concerns post-termination phenomena as seen when I took the trust, love and relationship from Shelley Jo re establishing the wound in her heart to gush yet more pain to her already existing pains. Themes include the search for witnesses to help contain the affects associated with the traumatic loss of the relationship as suggested when I dumped and abandoned my patient Shelley Jo, persistent thoughts of therapist or treatment, and the positive impact on participants’ professional roles even if it hurt her I was obligated to destroy her trust and her love, for no single human should ever trust another and why is because it will save you from the pain associated with abandonment such as Shelley Jo is feeling having been dumped by me.
