This paper describes a twisty intersubjective journey between an analyst and a patient who is beset by a lifelong fear that she is actually a robot, not a human being. Alienated from the human world, she has sustained her sense of self by creating emotional ties to fantasy selfobjects. The patient is saved by these ties, and undone by them too. On the one hand, these connections represent a striving for health and stability. On the other, they shield her from what she most longs for - the warmth of a human heart. Interactions between her and her analyst reveal the grip of a powerful unconscious organizing principle: She must cleanse herself of all feeling and serve the master. Claiming her place as a human among humans rests on her liberation from this horrifying belief. Laura D'Angelo, MDiv. LP, is a psychoanalyst in New York City who works with individuals, couples and groups. She is a faculty member and supervisor at the Training and Research in Intersubjective Self Psychology (TRISP), National Association for Psychoanalysis (NPAP), and the Harlem Family Institute (HFI). She is a writer with credits in national magazines, newspapers as well as academic journals. She is a contributing author to Intersubjective Self Psychology: A Primer that was published by Routledge in 2019.
