Such alternative reactions frighten the ego because they seem to injure the ego’s self-image. Yet all characteristic reactions, whether denied by the ego or not, are kept for use as alternative actions. In many cases actions unacceptable to the ego may be precisely those actions that are necessary for whole other areas of the personality. When too many actions are restricted by the ego, they may begin to form impulse patterns or groupings of various rejected impulses. These then adhere through attraction, and attempt to find expression regardless of the ego’s attempts to restrict expression.

As this point is reached the ego obviously becomes more disturbed. In very few cases however does the conflict reach this sort of proportion. A lack of communication between the ego and the inner self is obviously one of the main causes for such difficulties.

There is something here we will discuss at a later date, concerning the rhythms within these sessions, for they follow certain inner rhythms of activity, and I am always concerned that we use these to advantage. In some cases this entails longer and more intensive sessions. At other times it involves shorter sessions, particularly when I have some eye out for future events. My best regards now, and good evening.
