That kind of talk reminded me of my Christian upbringing when evangelists would boast about how many people they’d baptized.
Alexander Technique is extraordinarily difficult to be captured in words. It has to be experienced in person from the hands of a qualified teacher.
I’m now halfway through the book and I am pleasantly surprised. It may be the best book on the Alexander Technique. Not for its prose style, but for its insights.

Do You Want To Talk About It? II
I guess I’m afraid of having to have an intimate conversation. I guess I’m afraid of intimacy.
When I hear, “We need to talk,” I get chills up and down my spine. I start pumping with adrenalin. I immediately try to guess what the conversation will be about and how I can answer the person’s concerns. If I see that I have done something wrong, I start thinking about how effectively I could lie my way out of this problem and what would be the best way of shading the lies so that I can later defend them as truths.
I don’t think normally healthy people experience such fright when they hear, “We need to talk.”
I think there’s something wrong with me. It’s not my degree of fright when I hear these words, it’s my realization that I’m walking around with this fear all the time, but only in moments of crisis am I conscious of it.
