At the heart of human existence is a tragic ambiguity: the fact that we experience ourselves both as subject and object, internal and external, at the same time, and can never fully inhabit either state.

In her 1947 book, Simone de Beauvoir addresses the ethical implications of this uncertainty and the ‘agonising evidence of freedom’ it presents, along with the opportunity it creates for continual self-definition. In this Close Readings episode Jonathan Rée and James Wood discuss these arguments and Beauvoir’s warnings against trying to evade the responsibilities imposed upon us by this ambiguity. They also look at the ways in which Beauvoir developed these ideas in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥 𝘚𝘦𝘹 and her novels, and her remarkable readings of George Eliot, Virginia Woolf and E.M. Forster.

The Labyrinth of Love
A short story about suffering, meaning, and the slow art of being found

by Niko Marinos

Eleanor and Jonah, a writer and a bartender, engage in a deep conversation about the meaning of life and suffering in a Parisian café. They explore whether life has a predetermined pattern or if it is random, with Eleanor advocating for the transformative power of meaning and Jonah arguing for the liberating nature of randomness. Their discussion reveals their personal struggles with pain and the search for purpose, ultimately leading them to consider the possibility of meaning as a dialogue with the universe.

What does it mean to invent psychoanalysis anew—for each patient, each session, each breath?

In this evocative essay, therapist and writer Niko Marinos invites us into the quiet alchemy of the therapeutic encounter. Blending clinical depth, poetic narrative, and the six pillars of the Relational Integrity framework, Staying With the Living Encounter challenges traditional notions of interpretation, progress, and neutrality. Instead, it centers the living, trembling, ever-changing presence between two people in a room.

From raw, vivid vignettes—where silence becomes a holding space, and contradiction a sign of truth—to reflective guidance for clinicians, the essay speaks to therapists, students, and anyone drawn to the mystery of transformation. Here, psychoanalysis is not a fixed method but a ritual of attention, of bearing witness, of staying.

For those who believe that healing is found not in the explanation, but in the human act of staying with what hurts—this is your companion.
