<description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode, &lt;a href="https://rachaelburton.com.au" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"&gt;Rachael&lt;/a&gt; encounters the uncanny intelligence of the patient&amp;#39;s unconscious. The patient, having criticised Rachael for her “messy” management of her clinical practice then adopts the same management style and surreptitiously benefits from it.  Feeling guilty, the patient has a dream revealing these dynamics but withholds her insights from Rachael. This produces a desire in Rachael to be mean and partake of the jouissance of revenge. By unpacking her own unconscious with Gill, it becomes clear to Rach that her countertransference wish is a clue to the patient&amp;#39;s fear, which is preventing her from surrendering into the patient position.&lt;/p&gt;
