Ruburt’s recent discomfort is partially caused by the fear that his body will not be able to completely heal itself, even if he does uncover all of the reasons for his predicament.

The fears have been there, of course, and your latest efforts simply brought them into prominence, or cast a spotlight upon them. This can be countered if Ruburt stresses the idea that he is indeed couched safely, and that his existence is automatically, spontaneously held. That idea of safety and reassurance counters the fear, and opens the passageways again for free association.

(I felt depressed after today’s session, for it seemed to me that Jane still hasn’t shaken her fears, especially her distrust of her own body and its processes, after all this time.

The question isn’t why she’s so uncomfortable these days, but why the body, the psyche, has chosen to endure those symptoms for so long.)
