MIND ANTICIPATION

He asked, Why do I need to come. He needs to hear some comfort, is there a particular reason for. Well OK, my eczema,… that is reasonable.

Biting the nails and eating them, what does that reflect?

I always ask, what does something reflect, I am not always right away thing rubrics. I ask ‘what does it mean’? And in the whole context of the whole case.

….. what does it mean? What does is reflect… biting nails? Of course! Inner tension, inner restlessness.

It is like tic nerveux, same thing. When you see people with tics nerveux, you must think right away; I wonder what is going on inside.

The stronger it is outside, it calls for you to go inside, and to find out what is going on. It is just a reflection from the inside.

I call it the conscious version of the unconscious.

You see the conscious, but you must fish in the unconscious… because there is the simillimum. Not in what the patient tells you, … some (symptoms), but those are his compensations.

He has a lot of compensations: putting headphones on, be sure he does not have anything new, if something new, he refuses to do it… and there a some remedies you have to think of. I saw it only once in he analysis in the audience. There is a special reason why that remedy came up.

When I asked SuSanna about the homework, what did she say, what did she have to do? She really has to push him to start and he doesn’t want to do it. (That makes me thing about some remedies right away).

And I thought does this correspondent with my racing-horse in some aspects?, Yes it does. Also the diarrhea, the constipation, the bloating. I did ask that question with a reason. Then of course, you told us you could not cut his hair. This is important!

SuSanna said something about it, does anybody remember? Why did he not like it? He said: something (the cut hair) leaves him. SuSanna said it beautiful, because that gives me a fixed idea or the delusion. My favourite things.

I am looking at what Jung would call: telltale symptoms.

These points to the most sensitive issue, Jung called it the high feeling toned complex which is our painful Never Well Since. Telltale symptoms are weeping, stuttering, not answering, delayed answers, closing the eyes, looking away from me.

One thing before I forget it, while I was asking many questions to SuSanna, …

I am looking for what Jung would call ‘tell tail symptoms’, that would point to me to her most sensitive issue.

Jung called it ‘high feeling toned complex’. Those where his words, .. which are our painful ‘Never Well Since’.

And I was looking for these tell tail symptoms in SuSanna.

Which include, weeping, stuttering, not answering, delayed answering, even closing the eyes, looking away from me. She did none of these.

I was looking very carefully,.. but none of it.

This tells me, how Susanna is doing the same as her son; block it away, because it is too painful to think about it. I need to survive, I need to move on, and that is what I am going to do. But for me this is a great reflection of something that I will change in you, because you

are going to take the same remedy as your son !!

Two for the price of one. (1.12.30)

It is very rare that I cannot elicit some tears, some hesitations. It is very rare.

It just tells me about her strength and her determination and really the need to block it, and more than that, ….. which is actually not good.

What Jung said about that,…. If you repress or suppress your emotions, he says, nature will come and visit you with a physical illness.

So I want to do this as much as for you as for your son.

So…. When he was telling she could not cut his hair, because something was leaving from him, I wrote a delusion down immediately……..

MIND - DELUSIONS - injury - being injured; is

No, I will tell you later, because I want you to understand the whole case. But I understood this and wrote the delusion down.

And then comes 8 years, pulling his hair out. The totally syphilitic phase. It was pretty quick. Sycosis was behind it. He goes right away into depression, pulling his hair. Everything self-destructive behaviour, nobody likes me, nobody loves me, I do nothing right, I am done with it. These were all his words. You could just translate it: delusion does nothing right.

MIND - DELUSIONS - right - doing nothing right; he is

You know how many times I have heard this from children; it is a cry for help so much. How many times they go to mom, asking do you still love me. Three or four times a day.

Self-mutilation, tearing the hairs out, it is all a cry for help. It is just terrible for those children, terrible, because what else can they do to get the attention to get help? The vital force throws such symptoms up, what else can the VF do, to become self- destructive and syphilitic, it is horrible.

And guess what we do in allopathy? Thank god SuSanna never did this. We put them on Prozac and whatever, all these medications I call it, robbing that person of that little emotional strength they have. That is what we really do.

And we make zombies of them. These children are lost, and for the rest of their lives they have to be on it. Unless by some coincidence the VF is strong enough to go against it, but this is rare. What does the doctor say,… it is for the rest of your life.

SuSanna: The doctors have often said, that he should be put on Ritalin or some other medication.

Luc: Yes I believe you that they have tried!! And you are a strong person. I commend you for doing what you did, for the love of your child.

You know this is horrible for a child. I see so many children like this. And usually what I do, I put them alone with myself sometimes, and then I ask them…

I remember a girl, she was cruel towards the mother, who was a nice person and she was deadly afraid of the father who was an alcoholic. She was 8 years old and I asked her why do you do this. She said: someone makes me do it. She talked in homeopathic language; it was a beautiful Anacardium case. There are no psychiatrists who can do what we can to help these children. I have seen all kinds of ‘potential’ murderers with me, children are 7 years old,.. and I will see them again. It is wonderful for us, if we can safe someone like that. Only you can do that. That is the beauty, there is no psychiatrist, nobody else, not even TCM can do this.)

Destructiveness of course, he was cutting clothes and all kind of things. He is cutting the things he likes. That is interesting.
