Writing
As a writer, I aim for a style that evokes what I am discussing rather than explaining it didactically. Writing on trauma, for example, can involve repetition and a sense of frozen time.

The Traumatic Uncanny
The Psychoanalytic Review · Vol. 112, No. 3 · September 2025
In this essay, I explore the uncanny resonances between the life, writing, and tragic death of French philosopher and psychoanalyst Anne Dufourmantelle. I develop the idea of the “traumatic uncanny” to think about trauma, repetition, witnessing, and forms of meaning that resist easy interpretation or redemption.
About My Writing
For me, writing is not a process of putting down something known in advance, but of letting oneself be open to what arises from within — consistent with my technique as a clinician.
