Whether the collapse is "out there" or "in here," it often seems the world is collapsing. Many of us seek therapy because the sense of losing our mind, our self, our loved ones, or our livelihood is terrifying, and the real threats of catastrophe are debilitating.

We fold up or fold in to protect ourselves and our relationships, but then aloneness, desperation, panic, and self attack set in.
