Ruburt is attempting to rid himself of poor habits of years’ duration. He is progressing. Certain incidents, trivial in themselves, will at times carry a tremendous charge, not necessarily because he is repressing thoughts about the particular incident, but because the incident recalls unresolved past issues that he has psychically associated with it.

Such activities, and you can think of others—I am simply using this as an example—are therapeutic, even though it may seem that they are beside the issue.

He should also imagine the future when present symptoms have vanished like the others. Anything but projecting them into the future. You can help him by reminding him of improvements and saying something like: “You used to worry just as much about your—say—feet, and they are fine now.” But remind him of gains. At least keep the gains in your own mind. It may be better not to mention specific past symptoms, while still dwelling on the improved condition. Do you follow me?
