Suppressing emotions

Because the harmony had to be maintained at all times they became very good at suppressing their emotions.

Elements of Homoeopathy by Jan Scholten

Niccolum [Nicc]     

Their childhood was ruled by the principle:

Maintain the harmony, at any price

Relationships

have to follow

the same rules,

which means they

are usually not

very close

Eventually they

no longer know

what they feel or

what is going on

with them

It is better

to avoid conflict

Personal feelings

were not allowed

so it was better

not to even

notice them      

The emotions are still there,

but they don't

know where they

come from or

what they mean

They dream of having their fingers or head cut off, a symbolic portrayal of the cut off emotions

They often feel as if they are living in isolation, as if surrounded by a glass barrier

Exams are a nightmare, they may have black-outs

Learning1] A non Repertorial approach

3] Falling of teeth has been a deciding factor in quite a few cases. & once you give Niccolum, yrs. old dreams vanishes
