Swimming is his daily exercise routine. Suddenly unable to swim, as he claimed?

When chatting with the male lawyer, it's important to guide him to open up about recent events and his swimming fears with a caring and understanding attitude. Here's a possible way to communicate:

First, we need to approach him with an open mind and a supportive attitude. We could say, "To resolve your recent fear of swimming, it is important to find out if anything in particular has happened or if there is anything that makes you feel uncomfortable."

After listening to his response, we can continue, "I understand. Sometimes we don't always realize how certain things affect our emotions and behavior. I'm here to help you work through this."

I'd love to hear if you've been facing any new challenges recently, or if there's anything on your mind that's making you feel anxious or worried.

"

This way, we can gently guide him to share his recent experiences and inner feelings, which will help us gain a deeper understanding of his situation.

If he says that nothing in particular has happened recently, we can continue with a gentle suggestion: "Sometimes changes in our bodies can also have an impact on our daily lives. Considering your swimming habit, I think it would be a great idea for you to go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination to ensure that you are in good health."

This can also help us figure out if there's something else going on physically that's affecting your swimming.

Then we can ask, "Apart from the physical examination, what do you think is the root problem of your fear when swimming? Or do you have any other concerns or problems you want to solve?"

Asking these kinds of questions helps us get to know the person better and find ways to help them.

It's so important to communicate with him in an open and understanding manner. By listening and asking relevant questions, we can help him find a way to overcome his fear of swimming and provide him with the necessary support and advice.

Hello. I need to know if this happened once or if you still can't swim after trying to get into the water again.

Tell me about any changes in your body or life before this situation occurred. This could include physical discomfort, normal sleep patterns, or any stressful events in your life (including work and family). Swimming is similar to cycling in that once you have learned how to do it, it basically becomes muscle memory and an automatic response that you don't usually "forget."

Therefore, the inability to swim after getting into the water is not simply a matter of "not being able to" or "not remembering how." It is likely a stress reaction caused by the physical and mental state. If the situation persists, it is essential to go to the hospital for a detailed examination.

The following discussion considers only possible psychological factors. It is not intended to be conclusive.

It is possible that the person has experienced a traumatic event or a negative experience in the past, which has been triggered again recently by an external stimulus. When exposed to strong stimuli, people enter a state of psychological inhibition, which prevents them from performing basic skills normally that they are otherwise proficient in.

People who have experienced a disaster or trauma may temporarily lose the ability to speak.

Second, if the person is under high levels of stress and anxiety, or is psychologically afraid of something, this state of mind will affect muscle relaxation and body coordination. We know that swimming requires relaxation. When you are overly nervous, you will have difficulty floating, let alone swimming.

Furthermore, insomnia or severe fatigue may also result in a temporary disordered response. It is imperative to rest and adjust before exercising if there is a significant feeling of insomnia and fatigue.

If it is a family member or friend, you should spend more time with him and listen to his feelings. He will undoubtedly feel scared in such a situation. Having someone by his side and supporting him will help him to relax a little.

From your description, it seems that the issue may not be entirely psychological, but rather a physiological response to the original desires that have developed over time, potentially related to a lack of life experience. This could be a significant psychosomatic reaction.

It seems that your fear and anxiety may have their roots in the unconscious sexual or aggressive desires of the id (that is, the immediate gratification of needs). It's also possible that you're experiencing doubts about your ability and sense of identity at this age. You may even doubt that your value as a person is recognized and valued.

It is also possible that the superego may instill a sense of punishment and threat, which could result in feelings of conflict within the mind and potentially lead to feelings of fear and anxiety. It is important to note that anxiety can be a warning sign of a potential crisis, and it may manifest unconsciously.

You are already 50 years old, and you usually don't notice your feelings when swimming. After all, we would say that middle-aged people are experiencing a crisis, and they are about to start feeling the lack of physical abilities to varying degrees. You are beginning to discover that swimming has generated fear in you. After all, this fear is just an idea projected by your swimming experience, your experience of growing up, and the demands placed on you by your nurturer or parents. You are also accustomed to thinking that your inadequacies are a big deal in the conflict of not being good enough to live. You have always tried to maintain the perfect part of yourself, but your imperfection makes you realize that you are unable to do so. In this conflict, you have lost a sense of control and have also forgotten your core values. In your feelings, your parents are threatening, moody, critical, controlling, and demanding. You grew up with anxiety about social interactions with others, and you felt unsupported and trapped in your parent-child relationship. You dare not express your anger and offend people, and you can only rely on your own doubts to form more fear and anxiety. It can be said that you are indeed not easy.

You might like to consider finding a counselor or therapist on the platform to accompany you in this fear and anxiety. Seeing yourself in this way may help you develop and understand more. After all, emotions come from thoughts, and emotions have both positive and negative sides. It is normal to have the need to accept your emotions. Perhaps only then will you be able to see more strength in yourself and discover your potential. You may even be able to see more opportunities for growth in your pain.

Good morning, my name is Coach Yu, and I would like to discuss this topic with you.

Let's start by discussing fear. It's a natural psychological mechanism that has been a part of our evolutionary history. It's also an important aspect of self-preservation. Everyone has a certain level of fear ingrained in their genetic makeup. Without a sense of fear, we might be tempted to recklessly challenge things that are potentially dangerous. In such cases, we would lack the sense and function of self-preservation when faced with danger. So, having a sense of fear is not necessarily a disadvantage. It's important to recognize that having a sense of fear is not something to be ashamed of. It can serve as a valuable tool to keep us away from danger in critical moments, thus ensuring our personal safety.

It might be helpful to remember that fear itself does not represent the reality of things. Rather, fear is a message sent to us by our own subconscious mind, a message that alerts us to danger. As the questioner wrote, recently when swimming, I got into the water and couldn't swim anymore, and I was scared.

First, we might consider whether the fear we feel is emotional or real. As we all know, swimming is a skill that can be enjoyed for life once learned.

Perhaps you could ask yourself what thoughts and feelings arise in you when you go into the water.

Could I ask you what you think when you leave the water? I'm curious to know what emotions and feelings it brings up for you.

It might also be helpful to consider whether any recent events or experiences could be related to water, and whether there might be any potential dangers involved.

Perhaps we could also ask ourselves what the fearful feeling might say to us if it could speak at this moment.

However, awareness is often the first step towards change, so we can try to reconcile with our emotions. When such fearful emotions arise, we can acknowledge them, then take a deep breath and quietly watch them without any judgment. We can allow the emotions to come and go freely like clouds, and drift away slowly like fallen leaves in the water.

Another option to consider is writing therapy, which can be a helpful way to express and release emotions through writing and drawing.

Another option to consider is using an empty chair, role-playing, and self-talk to create a safe situation and atmosphere, connect the past with your current state of mind, and allow chaotic thoughts to be consciously integrated, so that negative emotions can be released.

If you feel you need help, you can always seek it. It can be difficult to overcome these issues on your own. It might be helpful to find a family member or friend you trust and who has always given you positive support to talk to. If you feel the need, you can also find a counselor. It's important to have someone you can talk to about your feelings.

It would also be beneficial to focus on ways to bring more happiness into our lives, relax our body and mind, get enough sleep, ensure we have plenty of energy, resolve internal conflicts, let go of unhappy experiences, gain an understanding of ourselves, and become more mature and grow. Best of luck!

Dear Questioner, My name is Ping'er, and I'm a counselor. I understand that you're experiencing difficulties with swimming. Could you please elaborate on what led to your sudden inability to swim? I look forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards, Ping'er Counselor

Please indicate whether your fear of water is related to a specific water-related event.

Furthermore, it has been suggested that exposure to any form of media, including television, medical procedures, or information related to mortality, can trigger associations between these stimuli and the act of swimming, leading to a heightened sense of anxiety.

Due to the lack of sufficient information, it is not possible to determine the root cause of the issue. However, the following suggestions may help to overcome it:

Firstly, you feel insecure and temporarily avoid swimming. It would be beneficial to choose a new sport, such as walking, running, or going to the gym.

Secondly, it is important to note that what often causes distress is often a product of imagination rather than reality. The brain has the capacity to amplify and distort unknown events, which can subsequently impact one's judgment.

For example, if a TV report mentions someone who drowned, and you suddenly think about this the moment you go into the water, associating it with the thought of whether you will drown, you may become so frightened that you freeze. This is an example of the brain amplifying an event, while the truth is that you can swim. The brain amplifying the event distorts your judgment of things.

Thirdly, identify the root cause of the issue and consult with a professional counselor to address the underlying concerns. Failure to do so may result in prolonged anxiety and its associated negative impact on your overall well-being.

I wish you the best in your recovery and hope for your continued happiness.
