“My text is the last line in the play Equus by Peter Shaffer. ‘There is now in my mouth this sharp chain and it never comes out.’ It is spoken by the character who plays a child psychiatrist who has been treating a teenager who committed criminal acts. The doctor refers to taking on his patient’s pain, thereby allowing the patient to forget the pain; it has become the doctor’s burden. I believe that negative energy is not destroyed, it is just transferred from one source to another.”
