Jane: I do.
E: (Erickson hands her the transcript.) Read that letter aloud.
Jane: “February 29th. Dear Dr. Erickson. I am writing in response to your request during our phone conversation of some weeks ago that I write you. I would have written sooner, but I wanted to check with Dr. L. to see if she was interested in accompanying me to Phoenix (if it is possible to see you). She was out of town for a few weeks and hence the delay. It was she who highly recommended you to me. She also indicated that she is interested in coming to Phoenix with me if it can possibly fit into her already overloaded schedule.
“Concerning my problem, I began to stutter somewhere between the ages of four to four-and-a-half. I began to speak in the twelfth month of life. The onset of the stutter was pretty nearly coincident with the birth of my sister (my first sibling), and a tonsillectomy sometime early in my fifth year. As to how these events related to my stutter, I have never quite pieced them together. I have made many attempts to unravel childhood traumas, including conventional psychotherapy, unsuccessful attempts at hypnosis (Dr. L. thinks I can be hypnotized), and “scream” therapy with C. D., the Fisher-Hoffman Process. I have tried various “body” therapies, i.e., Rolfing, Lomi body work, polarity therapy, acupuncture, bioenergetics, and breathing techniques. I have tried mechanical devices. I have done EST, as well as many meditative, spiritual, and yogic practices. My stutter still remains. Some of the things I have tried have helped me in varying amounts, but I have the feeling that there still remains some highly charged material from the past which I am mortally afraid to face.
“Several Bay Area psychic friends of mine have told me that my relationship with my mother is still unresolved. I am also aware that I have difficulty dealing with anger. Although I am SO years old, people tell me that I am childlike (many people find it hard to believe that I am over 20), and many still regard me as a child. I want to grow up and get on with my life. I am tired of living my life in this emotional soup.
