(At 6:00 AM Jane woke me to say that she was in the grip of an extremely painful stiff neck. By the time we obtained treatment for it the time was close to noon, so it seemed there would be no session this evening, or at most a few words from Seth acknowledging the seriousness of Jane’s predicament.

(By 8:30 PM Jane felt a little better but obviously was in no condition for a session. On the chance that Seth might speak briefly I readied my note paper. We waited. Even by 8:55 Jane still had no idea whether she would hear from Seth.
(At 9:00 PM Seth came through. Jane, holding her neck very stiffly forward, spoke softly and without emphasis. She paced slowly; I could not tell if her eyes darkened. At the same time our cat Willy began to cry and try grasping at Jane’s legs and ankles. He’s done this before at sessions. But now Jane found it difficult to elude him, since any quick movement set up spasms in her neck.)

(“Good evening, Seth.”)

(“Good night, Seth.”
(End at 9:09. Jane said Seth could have gone on, and that she was tempted to try to hold the session. She was not very much dissociated. Willy bothered her immediately, she said; yet at the same time she was more dissociated than she had thought possible under the circumstances.
(As we sat talking about the reasons for Jane’s painful neck, Seth came through again. Jane resumed pacing and dictating at 9:12.)

(“Good night, Seth.”
(End at 9:25. Jane was more dissociated during this last delivery, although still conscious of her very sore neck. She also felt that somehow Seth had overridden her to some degree in order to get the material through. Jane said she had cringed, mentally, at Seth’s use of the word infantile. She also felt a little better at the end of the brief session.)
