David said:

“But isn’t this all in your head? ..well, you ever avoid something? And then you avoid it and avoid it? But when you finally had to get involved— it flowed & went smooth!”

“So why did you freak yourself out? Because you freaked yourself out!”

“Your nervous system cannot tell the difference between freak out thoughts & reality.” ?

It was originally published a number of years ago — I believe about 1930 — but is now available on line, though possibly without the Williams illustrations.
