The article is based on several client cases. Any coincidence with a real client (gender, age) is an accident
She entered hastily and carefully, as if apologizing for coming. The appearance of a reliable woman, over forty: a little tired, a little anxious, and, of course, "from work ….". There is no husband, but there is a “person”, there are no children, but there are “sister's children”, there are no special desires, but there is a desire for everything to be good.
Patient, such do not come just like that. There must be a reason and there was. Panic attacks began to surface a few years ago. The last half a year has intensified. They overtook her suddenly, stopped her work, made her feel unreliable, threatened her earnings, her relevance as a specialist, and, finally, "life itself."
Doctors whom she bypassed prescribed medications that she believed did not help, but made her condition "even worse."
She did not speak much, and it was all to the point. As if she was trying to help me figure out what's wrong with her. I even tried to be useful to me, however, as always in life.
By working with symptoms, you can go far into physicality, sensations, trauma - there is something to do. We glided over the surface of stories, went deep into spiritual emptiness, over and over again, taming the mind to the presence of the listener.
She complained a lot, did not cry, but longing often spread throughout the room. I felt her sighing intonations, her pain, but at the same time, her strength and endurance, responsibility, resilience, unwillingness to surrender were revealed to me more and more … I said about it, and, it turns out, I was surprised.
It was also important for her to see her strength and believe in her strength, which she always latently felt, to believe in herself. It meant, in a sense, to see me and believe in me. In two months of work, it was as if we met for the first time.
Panic attacks are the lot of strong people. They are not used to asking for help and support. Rather, they can give it. They can even guess that she is needed, feel - and give. To give others time, kind words, to feed … But they themselves often remain hungry in every sense.
Everyone has a moment when they still don't like it, and it's scary to change something. But it is scary in such a situation to understand that your friend is yourself. It’s scary to realize that you’re alone. Somehow secretly lonely. Nobody will believe, alone. Desperately lonely …
She came for some time "for support", although the symptom was gone. She came with her tears, which she allowed to flow down her open face without turning away. She cried without fear of being small or weak, remaining "equal", staying with me.
There were already two of us. I remember with warmth our meetings, which were significant for me as well. This is about Loneliness, strong feelings in contact, fear of being "bad". And of course, about the support that can be received if you openly look into the face of another person and into the face of Life itself, as it is.
