Saleem finds psychoanalysis helps him overcome his anxieties
Saleem is a young manager in a London broking firm and describes himself as a worrier. He worries
about his work, his relationships, his bills and he worries that if he stopped worrying he would no longer
be able to perform well at work, at home and in life. His life would be over. Having seen several
therapists over many years he has suffered from a roller-coaster of short term relief and was resigned to
accepting his life as a battle between “misery and roaring anxiety.” After just six months of analysis he
now describes his life as “more joined up” and reports that his feelings of misery are replaced with “new
feelings” and “confidence.”
Timothy leaves the ranting to others
Timothy is a man with passion. Other call it anger, but to Tim, he is just passionate about everything he
does and he does everything with a passion. After years of nagging by his long term partner, Tim
agrees to see me for an informal chat. Now, after two psychoanalytical sessions per month, over
twelve months, Tim is less angry towards his work colleagues, his partner describes him as much
calmer and he no longer shouts at passing motorists! Of himself, Timothy simply says, “ I understand
myself now and I am now able to argue away the rage that just erupted.”
