Now. The reason for his unrest yesterday and today is simple. A reaction. He was afraid that his spontaneous self had been swallowed in our sessions. The emotional reaction was rather natural, since our last session touched on some deep points.
The poem was the resolution of the fear however, and a good sign. He does not need to fear the sudden release of the spontaneous self. (Jane pointed at me for emphasis.)He knows it is being released. He knows he is releasing it. But he has been afraid of releasing it suddenly, for fear it would engulf him. This is of course a symptom of the entire problem. (Leans forward.) It is the main reason he still has symptoms. It is why the few sudden releases, as with the Prentice letter, have in the past been followed by poorer days for a while.
Now we have hit something here, of importance. Give us a moment. (Pause.) Free arms, to him, represent abandonment, in the terms of giving into, freely and openly. He has been afraid of letting down completely. Now, he has not been aware of his fear of being suddenly released completely. The conscious knowledge will be of great help.
