The Single Pattern

The breakdown described in this chapter was not complicated by a particular problem. It was caused by no more than fear of the very feelings that fear itself had aroused, and as such is the commonest and most straightforward form of breakdown we know. If yours is this type of breakdown, it is a step towards cure to see your various symptoms as part of a single pattern coming from a single cause, fear. These symptoms are not peculiar to you, but are well known to many like you. And yet, however distressing they may be, I assure you that every unwelcome sensation can be banished and you can regain peace of mind and body.
