ABSTRACT
Mary Ann discussed her fears with her psychologist, whom she saw once a week for psychotherapy. Her therapist was able to zero in on Mary Ann’s internal negative voice that told her she was always in danger. The doctor suggested that Maureen start psychotherapy once a week to deal with her worries about mal de debarquement and panic attacks. Maureen’s case illustrates how panic disorder can be triggered by physical conditions, even after many years. Patients like her would do well to maintain some form of psychotherapy, even once to twice a year, to explore various inhibitions and remain aware of problems that could trigger panic disorder. Many people may be threatened or believe they are inadequate compared to their computers. The negative introject reactions to computers tends to run in the negative direction. The therapist had treated many people with social phobia, and she could see how George’s condition also stopped him from talking to colleagues about work issues.
