I've just been told that I am expected to go across to the States at Christmas this year - to the same place where I nearly died the Christmas before last. I am torn in two - half of me really wants to go, it's real exciting to get a trip to the States, and we're going to go to a party, and have time to do Christmas shopping there etc. The other half of me is so petrified, it never wants to step foot inside the States ever again, in case the same thing happens again. I think the time has come to get some psychiatric-type help. I shall have a word with my doctor over the next day or two and see what he suggests. I'd really like to go and see a hypnotherapist, as I have great belief in hypnosis. But I don't know of any good ones in the area I live in (London/Surrey, UK).
