This moment was not only a crucial moment in Katie’s therapy, and one that served as an initial foundation about how her treatment would evolve, it served to remind me that the conflict between desire (excitement) and fear (anxiety) are exactly what Freud and Breuer were describing. The symptoms were different then. We now have a whole new generation of modern-day illnesses that encompass multiple diagnoses and complicated symptoms, which are impacted by complex physiological responses, as well as by medications and iatrogenic effects. In Katie’s case, I was able to help her by relating that I understood her problems as being both physical and psychological. Once she felt safe enough to consider that her symptoms were influenced by her psychology and that I did not consider her symptoms to be psychosomatic (as it was clear there were multiple problems with her immune system), we were able to really dig in as to what relational stressors contributed to her symptoms.
