In this paper I offer a description of a patient with a prolonged dissociated transference and my countertransference reactions to her. Envy, both hers and mine, permeated our interactions and prevented me from dealing directly with her aggression. I will discuss the process of disentanglement and emotional differentiation that was triggered by a therapeutic crisis that penetrated the dreamlike state and led to a productive treatment of the patient's envy.
