The case is not yet hopeless, though it is deteriorating. (Pause. Note: not all pauses are noted.) The inner will to live must be revived. It is this inner will to live that is lacking now. At the heart of the condition, there is a series of psychological shocks that occurred.

Now give us some time here. (Pause.)

Some difficulty lies in the inner psychological relationship between the husband and the wife—an inner issue she does not face, and reacts to the issue in physical terms. The issue itself is based partially in her own relationship to both her mother and father. That is, the issue is frightening subconsciously, because of peculiar and individual attitudes caused by her own relationship to her parents. (Pause.)

There seems to be a male relative, I believe twice removed, perhaps an uncle, though I am not certain—a visit from him would be beneficial. (Long pause.) As an immediate step all effort should be made to remove negative suggestions, as these are building up about her. She has felt psychologically trapped for some time, this bringing about the physical trap into which she has fallen.

The husband, now, should follow this exercise three times dail: He should imagine the energy and vitality of the universe filling his wife’s form with vitality and health. Not a wishful thinking sort of thing, but a definite effort to understand that her form is indeed composed of this energy, and in this way he can help her use it to her advantage.

Basically she was not ready for marriage. Beside this her marriage had a deeply symbolic, frightening connotation that was deeply hidden. She felt that marriage was a trap—the trap again, you see, and that it was a hampering of freedom. At the time this deeply-held subconscious contribution had nothing to do with her husband.

You may take a break and we shall continue. I believe at one time she worked in a five and dime store, or store of that type. A girl who worked with her was a friend, and visits from her would be helpful.

This will give you some time, for her own subconscious attitude must be altered if any real improvement is to be expected. (Long pause.) She must realize that there is hope. I believe you have a fairly small sunny parlor. The room has beneficial connotations for her. Let her be moved there.
