Elzbieta Brodowska, in her article “ALIKE: a patient who gave up, lost and regained his orange colour” allows us to witness some parts of the Time travels she made with her patient. Traveling from Present to Past, then back again to Present , Past, back again and gaining increasing access to those moments in the patient´s Past, the memories of a Future, where there still was Hope and Faith in own competence.During this common enterprise through Time the patient was increasingly able to make ends with the Cataracts in the lenses of his mind´s eyes, he could not only hear but listen with his own two ears, he could say goodbye to a grey life, he regained his colour vision, he could listen to the music, he could enjoy the smell of the nature while walking in the mountains together with his girlfriend, he could perceive the world, himself, his longings, his thoughts, his feelings, his body, the Future with his two bright eyes, his proprioception, his two attentive ears.
Tatiana Nassar`s article “When wounds bleed again: New traumatic events that made links with old/pas events” describes how the Beirut blast (August 2020) and the evacuation of Palestinians from the West Bank (June 2021) had evoked unconscious and conscious nightmarish memoriesof the patient´s youth in a Palestinian refugee camp. Aching, stinging, pounding, bleeding pain, noxious memories where there had been guilt, no hope, where “help” was an empty word. Luckily, through their previous work together, Tatiana´s courageous patient had understood that her therapist refrains from empty words and promises and she knew she could rely on Tatiana Nassar.
