Experiencing fear is a central feature of managing disturbed states of minds. In this paper, I will describe the experience of being terrified by a patient who was overtaken by extreme anxiety. Aetiologically, I will suggest that the lack of containment created terror in her mind. I will also describe my experience of leadership in a voluntary organisation. Using Hopper’s concept of a fourth basic assumption, I will highlight the omnipresence of annihilatory anxiety in an example of organisational trauma. I will suggest that focusing on the issues of countertransference, working through experiences of being terrorised and paying attention to how you emotionally respond are crucial to lessening terror.

逆转中的恐怖：作为临床医生和组织负责人的极端焦虑及其影响

经历恐惧是管理精神错乱的主要特征。在本文中，我将描述被极端焦虑困扰的患者感到恐惧的经历。从病因上讲，我会建议缺乏控制在她的脑海中造成恐怖。我还将描述我在志愿组织中的领导经验。使用霍珀的第四个基本假设的概念，我将在组织创伤的一个例子中强调绝望性焦虑的无处不在。我将建议着重于反移徙问题，通过经历被恐怖对待的经验并关注您在情感上的反应方式，对于减少恐怖活动至关重要。
