Don't know if it will help,but info from a very
good psychiatrist has helped me a great deal.
He said that the anxiety is a case of
TRANSFERENCE! If we were afraid in any way
from our parents as children,we then TRANSFER
this fear to the world at large. So,in fact,it is
NOT tom,****,or harry we think we are afraid of,it is the historical fear of our parents.
Since I found out about this and start to get a
little anxious,I tell self:" Wait a minute,this is
not ACTUALLY a fear of this person/situation,
its from way back when I was a child.People are
NOT that powerful . . .I GIVE them power they
don't really have,I'm turning them into my
parents! I gotta tell you,though I still have
twinges (early days),it is a joy not to have that
terror.Do not desert that little child,fight for him/her! Fight !
