Psychology of Thuja occidentalis
Actual Life Situation
Shadow sides and feelings are encapsulated and put aside. One’s own potentials, and feelings that are not allowed to exist, that one does not want to have are isolated.
Remedy Message (high potency)
“Integrate the parts you have cast off!”
Message of Thuja occidentalis
Condition After Taking the Remedy (high potency)
After Thuja occidentalis, one’s “good upbringing” is lost. Characteristics like defiance (cham), desire for revenge (nit-ac), being wounded from humiliation (staph) or the disappointing desire to help (cocc) and the desire to be loved (jod) show themselves and want to be processed. In order to secure one’s support (calc) these needs and traits were pushed aside. The personality must absolutely learn to become stable out of its own resources (caps, alco-a).
“Shadow sides are encapsulated and isolated.”
