My Father Has Alzheimer's

'Alzheimer's. 'It scares me terribly to see my father get worse and worse and not to know if this terrible disease will happen to me. It sometimes feels like my life is over.' Katie invites her to consider if it's really true that her father has Alzheimer's. The questioning is heavy slogging at first, but using The Work, Anna moves from tears to laughter in fifteen minutes. 'You get really scared,' Katie says, 'because you see an image of him dying young, and then you see an image of you dying young because you have the gene. Is it Alzheimer's that's causing your dementia, or is it the movie you’re watching?' 'It’s the movie,' Anna says. Next Katie guides Anna into worst-case scenarios, ones that she has been innocently frightening herself with, where a physician delivers a devastating diagnosis. Once Anna has questioned her thoughts, Katie says, the only one in the room who would be upset would be the doctor.' copyright 2015 Byron Katie International, Inc. All rights reserved.
