    "Here's another variable I'd like to put in this. And this is the notion of anxiety. What is Anxiety. I would say anxiety is the emotional responsiveness of a person to situational stress. In other words it's an emotional reactiveness in self. When you get down into the average to poor levels of differentiation of self the chronic anxiety is significant. The intensity of the anxiety can be judged by the intensity and fixedness of these symptoms. The relationship patterns in other words you can have people who are well differentiated these patterns will be mild. They will be there in periods of anxiety and they'll go away. And as we go down into lower levels of differentiation these patterns are more intense. You can have fairly intense levels that can be controlled by other variables I'll go into those later but the intensity of these symptoms is determined by a level of differentiation. And principally anxiety. What I'm getting at is there is a chronic level of anxiety which can be checked out by these mechanisms the more intense these mechanisms the lower the level of differentiation of self in general."
