A fantasy is a discharge mechanism that is directly related to your past and keeps you tethered to your current condition.

THE PLEASURABLE PAST/ANXIOUS FUTURE PARADIGM

Just as the suffering past is connected to the fantasy future, the pleasurable past is connected to the anxious future. When we are in this time line, we are concerned that the future may not replicate the happy memories from the past.

Here are a few examples:• Ann excelled in her studies in high school. She worries that she will not do as well in college.

• Mark was such a precocious child that grown-ups sought out his advice. As an adult he worries about maintaining his importance.

• Laura grew up being told she was beautiful and talented enough to be a movie star. As an adult, she feels anxious when she is not the center of attention.
