Hold on to my pockets
The simple-minded pose is another form of evasion or rationalization. "You know, these ideas you're explaining are somewhat complicated." As a businessman put it, "When anyone says 'I'm iust a country boy who never went to college like you fellows,' I hold on to my pockets and run for the nearest exit." This is not possible in psychotherapy, at least for the therapist. What the therapist must do is to repeat his ideas in aas many different ways as possible until he rings the right bell.

Thanks!

Your pockets are usually where you keep your valuable things - your money. If you feel vulnerable, you hold onto your pockets and run for the exit. I think that's what's your writer is saying
