"Pain is in the mind." But go through enough of it, and there's a possibility that you can be convinced that something is seriously wrong. Conversion disorder is a form of somatoform disorder, a symptom of which manifests as physical problems with no explainable cause.

One of the first times Mal appeared as a shade in Cobb's mind, Arthur had his throat slit. After, it became apparent that he could no longer speak in reality. It didn't affect how he did things much, moving from phone calls to other forms of contact and messaging. And the notebooks certainly saw a lot more use.

It was late when Arthur had finally made his way home from the airport. The job had been simple, an in-and-out extraction in order to test the militarization of some company CEO, hardly requiring the three weeks of prep work done by the entire team. He’d checked his messages, made a note that Mal had asked he contact her when he was available before going off to bed, jet lag finally catching up to him.

By the time he wakes, it’s nine in the morning — it doesn’t take long for him to get through his morning routine, and he sorts through his mental list of to-dos. At this time, he’ll be able to catch Mal, if not Dom if he calls their home line. He picks up the phone and dials, holding it between his shoulder, arms free to sort through his laundry while the line connects.

Where I ask you to give me a nudge when I say I will do something, but then don't. Because if I can get away with not doing anything, that is what I'll do.

Constant reminders work best.
