In a new crisis situation, in facing a present crisis squarely and dealing with it in adult terms, he may indeed free himself largely; for the present situation through association brings up highly charged emotional energies that have been stopped up and causing difficulty.

Ruburt should not brush aside any emotional connections then, but understand what is happening. For this process is releasing him already, and operates like a catharsis. His development allows this to happen. The situation, you see, somewhat earlier, could have had far different connotations, and he could not have handled them. This is very important, the above.

He can run without being compelled to run away. (Slowly.) He has a free choice, now. In facing these problems, he is releasing himself through highly traumatic inner psychological dramas.

The old panic is being dispelled through the present situation with your parents. At a lesser degree of development this would not be the case. Both your father and your mother subconsciously know your position and Ruburt’s. Subconsciously they both know that this good is coming from their own situation.
Once more: Ruburt begins to realize he can have full freedom of motion, without feeling that he will be forced to run away. He has a choice of motion now. He can stay and face a situation through, and have full freedom of motion. He will not use motion in a cowardly manner, as he feared. He can also use freedom of motion to help.
