Guilt as a defence against a deeper angst reflects a lack of permission to be oneself. It reflects the incalculable power of early conditioning. And it offers a chance for persons to recover the initiative in their lives. In the real world, to be a person of value rather than an emotional chameleon, choices perforce must be made and pleasing others cannot be top of the agenda. The angst that surges from below is experienced as overwhelming precisely because it dates from a time of one's great childhood vunerability. Because that energy is never lost but reides in the unconcious, it can spring forward with paralyzing power.
Sometimes people are forced into a difficult choice...anxiety or depression. If we move forward, we my be flooded with anxiety. If we do not move forward we will sufer depression. In such a difficult choice one must choose anxiety, for anxiety is at least a path of potential growth, depression is a stagnation and defeat of life.
Not any more Fred, I had my 'glory days' on the Stretford End in the sixties and seventies, couldn't ever get used to sitting down whilst at a match. Go down the pub to watch the games these days.
