Lacanian psychoanalysis emphasizes the subject’s speech and his or her relationship to the signification of language. This is not speech in the everyday sense, but analytic speech—a mode of speaking that allows something unexpected to emerge. Within the analytic setting, the subject is invited to be listened to differently—not only to what is said, but to what escapes saying, what insists through the detours, slips, and ruptures of language.

Through this process, the subject begins to explore how his or her fantasies and symptoms are not pathologies, but structures formed in relation to others and inscribed on the body. These formations are traces of a singular history, shaped by desire and the unconscious.

Traversed in this way, Lacanian analysis aims at the construction of one’s own singularity.

I invite you to embark on this unique exploration of discovering yourself.
