Sometimes you feel you did all you can. The original problem was on the way
to resolution. All signs point to normal. You agree to adress any NEW problems.
And then she wants to quit. I told I would be there for her. It is all I can
do.
Dare Friends:
    Mary has given this mother SO much. And she HAS done all she could do. It
is up to the mother now.
    Craniosacral therapy has been useful for this type of unexplained
maternal reaction. I have had experiences like this, where after a second or third
CST session, the mother says to me, as she is on my table, "there is more than
this breastfeeding stuff going on."
    In two cases, the 'other stuff' was: 1) sexual abuse as a young girl and
2) a home that didn't feel safe for the mother (subtly undermining husband and
a house she didn't like). These issues didn't surface until after some CST.
    warmly,
