Résumé
'She seems to be destroying me on some level and saving me on another.'Ophelia Wynters is on the verge of taking her own life. She has only recently started seeing a new therapist-one who seems calm, wise and incredibly available. The therapist persuades her not to act on her self-destructive impulses and Ophelia starts to invest the therapist's every word and gesture with intensely personal meaning.
For a considerable time, therapy seems to be working-but then it slowly unravels. On The Brink of Nowhere is a revelatory and gut-wrenching account of a real relationship that develops between Wynters and a psychotherapist over the period of four years. The author reveals her own vulnerabilities within the therapeutic relationship with a raw honesty that lays bare her most painful and terrifying thoughts and feelings.
The richness of this story comes from a client revealing what she longs to say to her therapist but can't, and the impact that this has on her, both within and beyond the therapy hour. Ophelia Wynters, just starting out as a therapist herself, is an intelligent client with considerable knowledge of how therapy is supposed to work. She is aware that sustained change and healing come from allowing herself to become vulnerable in a 'safe' therapeutic environment.
But she realises that at some point, her therapist has lost sight of professional boundaries, and the environment becomes untenable. This narrative highlights the significant power dynamic, both real and perceived, inherent in the therapist-client alliance. Whilst a deep and personal therapeutic relationship forms, this account also serves as a powerful warning for both clients and practitioners, highlighting the potential consequences of when a well-meaning therapist breaches their duty of care and loses sight of the client's wellbeing.
