Dear Rochelle, I must have too much time on my hands as I have been musing
over your case (again)

)
I was wondering if you know WHY he needs to climb?
When rock climbing there is a need for diligence, great care, planning,
caution without losing confidence (although we know he is timid), and there
is always a goal.
Is this climbing upwards and away his escape from his mother (she dominates
but he "won't let her get a way with it") - is it climbing yet clinging like
Bryonia (he isn't this rx but you see the point), or is it to practise
controlling, or to be at one with himself etc.
I note with interest that in the 'Climbing desires to' rubric, Cicuta is
there - this is a remedy full of sadness and hurt from within their past
which they have clung to. In fact they cling to it so much it prevents them
growing up (like Baryta carb), they stay like a child.
Locked up in this state they become fearful and suspicious of the world at
large and retreat into their own world (their own castle, where he is king
and no one else is allowed?). They are driven by a dissatisfaction and
displeasure with everything - hence the control over his home??).
I know it is a convulsive remedy (doesn't HAVE to be in the picture) but
they love to dance (which he does also), but they cannot caress others,
cannot deal with that emotion.
Is an eczema remedy with crusty pustules, especially on head and face areas
(maybe not specific to the ears).
Worth looking at??
I'm off to watch the cricket now so I promise no more musings
