Children Who Shut Down Their Systems...

A psychologist friend writes, "On the constipation front, Eric Berne postulates the need to hold onto what the body has produced in case there is no more. If the child clings to the illusion that someday Santa Claus will come, then he/she needs to keep the sphincter tight to ward off disappointment. His admonition to therapists is : Think sphincter!"

Today's question: Are you holding onto something, fearing there will be no more for you?
