(The day after the last session I wrote down a question for Seth. I’ve thought about it often since last Thursday, then: Is Jane going to have to make known to herself consciously every bit of information about her symptoms before she recovers? I had the question partly because of something she’d said herself before the last session—and which I’ve now forgotten—and partly because I didn’t believe that most people were able to deal with such procedures in their daily lives.

Yet I still felt questions and statements going around in my head as we retired—and as is often the case in such situations I wondered if I’d gone too far in my reactions, and needlessly interfered with Jane’s attempts to probe into and understand a most difficult challenge. My question, above, was an outgrowth of my own feelings and questionings. I read it to her as we sat for tonight’s session, and she agreed it was a good one.)
