<description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode, &lt;a href="https://andrewgeeves.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"&gt;Andrew&lt;/a&gt; surprises himself by the degree to which his patient has led him into dissociating from his own inner subjectivity and into merging with the patient&amp;#39;s agenda. This agenda, in turn, reflects the patient&amp;#39;s merged state with his partner so that “two become one”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Andrew is able to use supervision to take up a third position and to take a perspective which frees him to use his own thoughts, thereby helping the patient shape his own subjectivity independently of his partner.&lt;/p&gt;
