Shannon's case - was Averse to limitations

Hi Joy,
You wrote:-


I was taught that they love butter and kids will eat it from the dish.

BTW - I am only reading yesterday's mails today and when I read Shannon's case I have to admit that it was Lycopodium I was thinking all through my reading of the case.

All the best

Hi Rochelle,

Pleased to hear the support for Lyc .
Stage fright or no, I think I will have to try it. (Waiting for him to get
back from the *latest* exotic trip!)

My rep shows Puls (3) for averse butter, and (1) for desires. Sigh, like I
said, I've never had much luck using food prefs... Well, hardly ever.

Dear Rochelle, in my clinical experience the aversion and the aggravation
from fat of any kind - milk, cheese, cream, butter, meat has always been
very strong in Pulsatilla cases. Occasionally you might have someone with a
liking for fat but there will still be the aggravation from it. But there
are many contradictory issues with the food rubrics and unless they are
peculiar or outstanding in any way I tend to give them low ranking.
Arsenicum, for example and in my experience, will crave fat but this isn't
really reflected in the reps.

Best wishes, Joy

Dear Shannon, as I posted previously and to reiterate, Lycopodium is about
control - this is what drives them. When they are in control they appear to
excel - they are usually very intellectual people (like his poetry reading
group). Take that control aspect away and then they crumble with timidity
and social cowardice. But the other side of that is that they attempt to
overcome this timidity by going over the top, they confront these fears by
becoming domineering, bossy, critical etc. It all depends on how they are
massaging their symptoms. Clients rarely present as perfect textbook
examples and a Lycopodium will probably not tell you they feel either way,
not wanting to damage their image, so to speak. Loving the limelight, as you
say - can be very true for Lycopodium, it helps smooth out the anxiety. When
they take on something new they can be very anxious but they will pass with
flying colours, the fear and anxiety was for nothing.

It doesn't help really that you know this person quite well. I think you
need to find a way of approaching this issue as if you did not know him at
all. I wouldn't ask a direct question about stage fright, try and find
another way into this.

Best wishes, Joy

Can I just point out to polarities in remedies - they can either crave or
hate certain things - I guess in this case, Puls could do either with
butter?

Hello Eleana

From one Needham to another - that is quite true about Puls. I have a
strong Puls in my Constitutional Profile and I enjoy butter right from the
dish but am repulsed at butter on bread or other things - especially if they
are hot or warm. We're a weird group us Puls.
