This article aims to retrace part of the therapy with a seriously ill pa-tient, who abruptly interrupted the appointments after only four inter-views. Returning to therapy, after more than four years, gave the ther-apist the opportunity to listen in a different way and gave the patient the opportunity to express himself with the help of a tool, not usually used in therapy, which allowed both to grow and train, initiating trans-formations. The author traces the salient phases of the therapy, high-lighting the acquisition of a different way of communicating, made up of conventional signs and neologisms introduced by the patient: written in a notebook, they became part of the lexicon shared by the therapeu-tic couple. The article concludes with a part dedicated to considerations about the preciousness of time for psychoanalytic training and for the acquisition, by the therapist, of different ways of listening. Finally, some significant sentences of the patient are reported with the addition of personal reflections.
