Difficulty with groups and permission to express emotion

Frederic connects this to his trouble with groups, recalling workshop titles about group consciousness he was once given, and observing that most people in a group feel emotion and then act from it, which is his issue.

The Wonders reply that he is afraid to express that emotion, which is why they suggested isolating himself in a room and expressing his emotions to himself; he may also share them with his wife, who loves him and will not judge him - he is the one who will judge himself.

They tell him not to judge himself for expressing emotion since that is what people normally do, whether yelling, screaming, crying or wanting to punch a wall, with the single caveat of not physically harming himself.

Each time he goes into the feelings he will find another layer and get closer to his own core.

They caution him not to expect resolution in a few minutes; if he only has twenty minutes that is fine, but he must give himself permission to come back to it, because if he does not, the mind has won and will keep winning by refusing his direction.
