We will enter the process of a participant following her journey through an experience in an arttherapy groupwork concerning domestic violence. Her attitude of "I want but I can't" will help us to reflect about the unconscious resistances that arise during the therapeutic processes and about the difficulties and the limits that bound us, the therapists, when we deal with these neurotic aspects.
