She was not able to take her youngsters to the beach and was not able to drive near the sea; she grew fearful when it drizzled, and also could not even hold up against the sight of water on TV. She had dazzling problems entailing water.
Callahan and also Mary had actually been working with this problem together for over a year. Mary functioned up the guts to rest within view of the pool at Dr. Callahan's home. Even doing this caused Mary extreme distress, and though she found methods to deal with the intense worry as well as emotional pain, she did not conquer her anxiety. They reviewed her problem, and also the best ways to overcome it, however without success.
Her fear of being near the water created Mary stomach pains - a typical "instinct." Dr. Callahan had actually recently been examining typical Chinese medicines, and also learning about meridians.
