<<I am working with a woman who has had a bizarre reaction to her ejection
reflex while nursing both of her children. About 5 seconds after the child
goes to breast she becomes anxious, then the feeling progresses to what she
describes as "almost anger" and says she often feels like she wants to run.
 As soon as the milk ejects the feelings subside and do not seem to recur
with subsequent ejections in the same nursing session...This symptom causes
her much distress, she appears very caring and patient with her
children...>>
Any symptom causing distress deserves respectful attention. Yes, it is
possible there are psychological aspects to this situation. I would
encourage a referral to a mental health professional who is knowledgeable
and supportive of breastfeeding (ask around in your area for who meets such
criteria good and/or call and interview providers yourself). Potential
issues are sexual abuse, control, intimacy, etc. A second opinion from a
doctor knowledgeable and supportive of breastfeeding may be worthwhile, as
well.
