You have been holding on to your own symptoms while Ruburt still has his. They are like notes to yourself, reminding you that things are still not as good as they should be. Tell yourself that you can help yourself and Ruburt far better without the disease caused by the symptoms. Once they were reminders that you also had a part to play in the entire situation. You accept that fact now, and therefore no longer require them. The need for them is over. Once they were meant to promote your psychological understanding, but now they can only impede your progress; and you are also slightly resentful at Ruburt, feeling that he is somewhat responsible, by still maintaining his symptoms, for your own.

It is somewhat for this reason that you do not more actively (underlined) use the positive encouragement of which Ruburt was earlier speaking. You feel you are helping him sufficiently enough through all your efforts, and withhold this more positive approach out of that resentment. Do you follow me here?

This also serves to punish you for the resentment, since by not giving this more positive support, which incidentally is far more effective than you would imagine—you also to some degree help to hold back that which you both want so badly.

You are also, as you know, relatively (underlined) of a solitary nature, and to some degree, and because of misinterpretation, distrustful and resentful at the thought that suggestion is so important between individuals. You would still like to believe in the importance of suggestion and telepathy, but only when it suits your purposes, and to minimize it in those areas that are somewhat touchy.

A small remark: The resentment of which I spoke earlier caused some overreaction on your part when you would have visited (underlined) your landlady over the dog episode—when a call was sufficient. These are simply pointers. You may take your break.
