Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) belongs to a group of anxiety disorders that some people get after experiencing a traumatic event and is associated with

increased arousal of the person and avoidance of the stimuli that is associated with the trauma (American Psychiatric Association 2013).

"Angst ist ein soziales Phänomen, man steigert sich da wechselseitig hinein",

Historiker Joachim Radkau von der Universität Bielefeld.

Fear makes fools of two kinds of man: the one who is afraid of nothing, and the other who is afraid of everything.

[Gromier-Heim]

Ein kurzer Exkurs zum Thema Angst:

- Angst vor Neuem aufgrund fehlenden Vertrauens oder aus Mangel an Vorstellungskraft, aber auch Prüfungsangst, bzw. Angst es nicht zu schaffen ist eher psorisch.

- Bindungsangst i.V. mit Freiheitsdrang ist eher tuberkulinisch .

- Angst vor Blamage (hervorgerufen durch Feigheit bzw. Minderwertigkeitskomplex), Angst im Dunkeln ist eher sykotisch.

- Todesangst, unerträgliche Angst in Verbindung mit Selbstmordgedanken ist eher syphilitisch.

[McKenzie]

Angst warnt vor Gefahr und ermöglicht schnelle Reaktionen. Streng genommen wird zwischen Angst und Furcht unterschieden: Furcht bezieht sich auf einen bestimmten Gegenstand, Angst nicht.

Angststörungen liegen vor, wenn jemand die Gefährlichkeit einer Situation überschätzt. Man unterscheidet Phobien, die Panikstörung und die generalisierte Angststörung.

Risiko ist die statistische Wahrscheinlichkeit dafür, dass etwas Negatives passiert. Man muss zwischen absolutem und relativem Risiko unterscheiden: Wenn ein Medikament die Sterblichkeit von 2 auf 1 von 10.000 senkt, nimmt das absolute Risiko um 0,01% ab und das relative Risiko um 50%.

Anxiolytische Medikamente lösen Angst- und Spannungszustände. Sie wirken gegen negative Emotionen, beruhigen aber auch und machen müde. Deswegen werden sie

oft als Schlafmittel eingesetzt, vor allem, wenn die Betroffenen wegen ihrer Ängste nicht schlafen können. Bekanntester Substanz ist Diazepam (= Valium).

 

Aconitum-Furcht (vor dem nahen Tod), sondern eher eine allgemeine Angst, verbunden mit dem Gefühl, "daß es sinnlos sei, noch irgendeine Medizin einzunehmen, da er ohnehin bald sterben werde"

 

Anxiety: is an unpleasant emotional state that has less than a clear source. It is often accompanied by physiological and behavioural changes similar to those caused by fear,

or a response to stress, such as the break up of an important relationship or exposure to a life threatening disaster (Berkow, 1997: 395).

Fear versus Phobia

Human beings display a vast number of emotions. Happiness, sadness, excitement, fear are some of the many such emotions conveyed by human beings at different times  according to different situations. Human beings are also subjected to many psychological conditions and phobias are one amongst many such psychological conditions diagnosed by psychologists around the globe. However, due to the similarities displayed between the two it is often seen that these two words are sometimes used interchangeably. Therefore, in order to use these two words in the appropriate contexts, one must know the differences between them first.

What is Fear?

Induced by threat, fear is an emotion experienced by living beings that affects the brain functions and which in turn causes a change in behaviour. Fear occurs in response

to certain stimulus occurring in the present or in the future, perceived as a risk to life, health, security, power or anything valuable. Fear induces various reactions in human beings such as running away, freezing, hiding etc.

They arise from the perception of danger leading to either avoiding the threat known as flight response or confrontation of the cause of fear. In extreme cases, this can lead

to paralysis or freeze response, as well. Fear is a natural emotion driven by the process of learning and cognition. Fear can be judged as rational and appropriate as well as irrational and inappropriate.

What is Phobia?

A phobia can be categorized as a type of anxiety disorder where the sufferer shows a persistent and irrational fear of an object or a situation, going to great lengths to avoid it, typically disproportionate to the actual danger posed by it. If the situation cannot be avoided entirely, it has been noted that he or she will endure the situation with great distress that significantly interferes with occupational or social activities.

The term phobia is usually discussed in terms of social phobias, specific phobias and Agoraphobia. Social phobias include discomfort in crowded areas or persistent fear of public speaking whereas specific phobias include arachnophobia which is the fear of spiders or acrophobia, fear of heights. Agoraphobia is the fear of leaving a familiar area such as home and the panic attacks that may be triggered by this act.

However, phobias such as xenophobia transcend and overlap many such categories.

What is the difference between Phobia and Fear?

Fear and phobia are two interrelated words that often go hand in hand. However, the differences between these two words prevent them from being used as synonyms for

one another.

• Fear is a normal human emotion triggered by threatening conditions. A phobia is an anxiety disorder.

• A phobia is an irrational fear where the reaction of the sufferer in avoiding the said cause is grossly disproportionate to the actual threat posed by the object or the situation. Fear is a rationalized and

justified emotion that comes in response to a threatening situation.

• The reaction caused by fear can be managed. The reactions triggered by phobias are usually extreme and cannot be controlled.

• A phobia can be treated medically. Fear cannot be and should not be treated medically.

Anxiety is an unpleasant emotional state. It is often accompanied by physiological changes and behaviour similar to that caused by fear.

As anxiety increases, performance efficiency increases proportionately, but only to an optimal level. Further increases in anxiety result in a decrease in performance efficiency (Beers and Berkow, 1999: 1512).

Anxiolytic

Reduces anxiety and exerts a calming effect with little or no effect on motor or mental functions. Used in acute anxiety sates for its sedative and minor

tranquilising capabilities (Shargel, Mutnick, Souney, Swanson and Block, 1997:276).

 

[Ludwig Gedah]

I have used Gelsemium on several occasions to manage acute dental anxiety. Other very effective anxiety remedies:

    Acon.: heart palpitations, sudden panic, dry mouth, dilated pupils, the sensation of sudden shock, the “white knuckle” syndrome patient. The anxiety is very short lasting and of very quick onset.

(Dr. Guillermo Basauri)

People who live in a permanent state of maximum alert. They are agitated, nervous and impatient. They want to anticipate and to know everything in advance to be prepared and to be able to face any adversity. They live as if they were permanently in mortal danger. It is the great remedy to help with acute panic attacks.

    Ars,: chronic anxiety. It is indicated in very chilly and fastidious people who have profound anxieties about their health and may experience burning pains that are better with heat.

(Dr. Guillermo Basauri)

Feels like sheep among wolves. For them, the world is a hostile and threatening place and because of their sense of helplessness they develop the compensatory response of controlling reality absolutely. They become organized people, organized to mania, and detail-oriented meticulous. Anxious in general, and in particular about their health,

they are also very dependent on others and tend to accumulate possessions with the idea to be better prepared for anything horrible that this life may hold for them.

    Arg-n.: excited, hurried, hyperactive and talkative.

(Dr. Guillermo Basauri)

     Caust.: fearful perception  that has more to do with the feeling that something bad is going to happen to them or their loved ones. They are usually people with a great sense of justice and dignity and end up being filled with negative feelings and phobias.

    Coff.: overenthusiastic, sleepless (mind: full of thoughts), excessively sensitive to pain and to noise, even music.

(Dr. Guillermo Basauri)

    Gels.:

    Fear paralyzes people. They want to speak in public but remain silent or their mind goes blank in  exams for which they have prepared well. It is a fear of anticipation,

a fear of facing the situations of life. They can be trembling or suffer from acute diarrhoea before any unusual event like a trip, an interview or a romantic date. It is a great remedy for those people with fear of being on an airplane.

    Ign.: may display hysterical behaviour, twitching of the muscles of the face and lips, hypersensitive to smells (cigarette smoke/coffee), and sometimes “As if a lump in the throat (globus hystericus). Specially useful in the “have never been well since” cases of emotional trauma.

(Dr. Guillermo Basauri)

    Lyc.: insecure, feels inferior and fear of challenges and responsibilities. But to compensate for this perception of themselves and for no one to notice it, they usually create

a compensatory image of pride and arrogance. “Tell me what you boast of and I‘ll tell you what you are missing,” could very well define the personality and behavior of these people. They are often harsh and critical with those who they feel may submit but submissive and complacent to those whom they feel to be powerful. Behind a facade of arrogance and haughtiness they hide their insecurity, fear and cowardice.

(Dr. Guillermo Basauri)

    Puls.: have not been able to solve the feeling of fusional love that unites the baby with their mother and who live relationships with a maximum degree of dependence.

They find it very difficult to live if not through dependency relationships and tend to please others to not to lose them. Their theme might be: “How do you want me to be

for you to love me?”

[Eileen Scullion]

For many people the fear of flying can cause so much upset and panic that even the thought of it is enough to send them into a tail spin with anxiety, palpitations and profuse sweating. Phobia is quite common though and while the term is often used loosely, the reasons behind it and how it manifests is different with every person. For example, fear of flying can be related to the fear of closed spaces (claustrophobia), fear of heights, fear of death, fear of having a panic attack, fear of motion sickness, fear of the dark if flying at night, fear of being over water, fear of crowded places, fear when the plan lurches downwards during turbulence, fear when landing, or simply the feeling of being out of control.

The good news is that homeopathy can help people combat fear of flying in two ways.

1st acute remedies can be prescribed to help bring relief before and during the flight experience.

2nd constitutional treatment which looks at the problem on a much deeper level, can help provide a longer term solution.

Constitutional treatment takes a look at the history of the problem, when it started, how it manifests etc. It also looks at other areas of your life, as anxieties, stresses and worries that you may have and how these impact you generally. A remedy is then prescribed according to your specific needs. The aim is to treat the root of the problem

rather than just the symptoms that manifest.

There are many homeopathic remedies that can be used to help combat fear of flying and here are a few examples.

Arg-n.: Very anxious, restless, with diarrehea - “what if the plane crashes”. The fear is more related to heights and or claustrophobia, Feel worse for heat and crowds and better for open air.

Acon.: Complete terror and panic and fear of death - “knows the plane will crash”. The fear can suddenly appear before or during the flight.

Ars.: Restless, cannot bear to be alone and needs constant reassurance that they will survive the flight. The main fear is a fear of death. > company.

Gels.: Trembling with anxiety and panic and muscles feel weak and heavy and refuse to obey your will.

Nux-v.: Excessive impatience and anger while kept waiting. < stimulants coffee and alcohol makes the anxiety worse.

If the fear of flying is restricting your life and is beginning to overwhelm you, then it is definitely worthwhile seeking a long term solution. Indeed this relates to all types of phobias.

 

[Basil B. Williams]

Overcoming Stage Fright With The Help of Sanguinaria Comp. (= Sanguinaria canadensis, Ferrum sulfuricum, Quarz). The term “stage fright” is generally used for what some people may experience when required to appear before an audience and perform in some way. While a normal degree of excitement, anticipation and even anxiety accompany most people, some are overwhelmed by the feelings. The feelings hinder or decrease the ability to calmly and clearly bring the message to the audience. When these symptoms occur therapeutic intervention can

be helpful. Individuals who have come for treatment tell of a wide range of symptoms. They tell of shaking of the body, blood rushing to the head, disorientation, sweating, stammering, incoherent speech and so on.

While some say that they feel in control before the event, the moment of standing before the audience brings forth the symptoms.

The primary substance in the compound is the root of the plant Sanguinaria canadensis e radice D2. It is used traditionally as therapy when strong emotions, arguments, mental overwork and excessive sense impressions trigger migraine and cephalalgia. When the emotional or astral body reacts to the excessive stress, the sanguinaria enhances the ego organization of the patient to overcome the disorganizational forces of the astral activity. This compound also contains Quartz cum ferro sulfurico D3.

The essential form-giving forces of quartz and the incarnating forces of iron augment the work of the ego organization process in the patient.

My patients have told me that they have felt more focused, in-control, alert, and that they had the ability to organize thoughts for more precise speech presentations when they took the Sanguinaria Comp before going on stage. In a few cases the stage fright symptoms occurred in college students before taking an exam. Again the Sanguinaria Comp is safe and is effective. The students were grateful.

Sanguinaria Comp. is helpful for episodes of stage fright, a broader question of nervousness and a hope not to feel overwhelmed by stresses of modern life can be pondered further by exploring various anthroposophical insights.

 

[Dr. Phil. Reinhard Müller]

Die Angst vor Versagen und Nichtbestehen -

Selbstbewusstsein und Selbstvertrauen sind durch Erfahrungen von Maßregelung, Abwertung, Einstufung und Ohnmacht in Kindheit und Jugend oft in entscheidendem Maße geschwächt.

Die anerzogene Orientierung an Autoritäten und deren Maßstäben lässt trotz der Loslösungs-Phase von ihnen in der Adoleszenz-Phase häufig "Reste" zurück, die sich - aus teilweise noch vorhandener innerer Abhängigkeit von ihnen - in Form vielfältiger Versagens-Ängste und der Furcht vor mangelnder Bestätigung äußert. Lampenfieber, Prüfungs-/Erwartungs-/Versagens-Ängste werden häufig vor Prüfungen, prüfungsähnlichen Situationen, Vorstellungs-Gesprächen, Präsentationen und Gesprächen (in der Gruppe) erlebt. Trotz vorhandener Fähigkeiten, Talente und Stärken besteht ein tiefes Misstrauen in die eigene persönliche Kraft, das Selbstwert-Gefühl ist herabgesetzt und die eigenen Ängste vor Wiederholung früherer traumatischer Situationen werden auf Personen der Umwelt (z.B. die Prüfer, die Gruppe) projiziert. Und trotz rationaler Selbsterkenntnis dieser Situation und der eigenen persönlichen Anteile kommen die Gefühle aus der Vergangenheit per Schlüsselreiz immer wieder hoch. Diese gefühlsmäßigen Knoten können nur über den Weg der gefühlsmäßigen Arbeit an unseren unbewussten Anteilen angegangen werden. Die Homöopathie mit ihren energetisch wirkenden Heilmitteln ist hierbei eine mögliche Hilfe.

3 wichtige homöopathische Mittel zur Behandlung von Prüfungs-, Erwartungs- und Versagens-Ängsten:

Arg-n.: häufig im Zusammenhang von Lampenfieber und Prüfungsangst.

Das Element Argentum hat kreative und schöpferische Fähigkeiten, die er auch gut entwickeln kann, hält aber an bisherigen Erfolgen und Positionen fest (anstatt seine kreativen Energien frei fließen zu lassen). Argentum hat in seiner Kindheit häufig die Botschaft erfahren: "Du sollst dir mit deinem Erfolg nichts einbilden".

Argentum ohne Urvertrauen, trägt die innere Empfindung mangelnder Geborgenheit in sich und fühlt sich nicht gleichberechtigt und angenommen.

Das Element Nitrogen sucht nach Lebensgenuß, persönlichem Glück und positiver Außenwirkung. Hiermit einher geht ein Bedürfnis nach Expansion, Weite und Raum. Enge führt zu innerer Spannung und symbolisch auch zu kongestiven Beschwerden (Röte, Schwellung, innere Hitze).

Sucht persönliches Wachstum, Expansion und Weite durch die Anwendung seiner schöpferischen und kreativen Fähigkeiten und durch individuelle Selbstverwirklichung. In der Regel macht sich dies symbolisch in Form irrationaler Ängste bemerkbar: Empfindungen der Enge (Fahrstuhl/Menschenmenge) verstärken dieses Gefühl. Schwäche-Empfindungen werden "durch Belastung deutlich". Die hierdurch entstehende geistige Schwäche wird von Erregbarkeit, Nervosität und Impulsivität im emotionalen Bereich begleitet. Die geistigen Fähigkeiten sind reduziert, während die Gefühle überstark sind". Sein eigentliches Problem sind das Gefühl mangelnder Geborgenheit und mangelndes Urvertrauen. Fordert Nestwärme ein. Er hat, das Gefühl, nicht gestützt und geschützt worden zu sein, obwohl es dringend gewünscht ist.

Und in der rauen Wirklichkeit der Außenwelt hat er häufig die Empfindung, diesen Schutz nicht zu haben, deshalb kommt bei ihm eine teilweise aus der frühen Kindheit herrührende Angst vor, in seiner Selbstentfaltung gehindert und beengt zu werden. Hierdurch fühlt sich Argentum nitricum seines inneren Friedens und seiner Vorstellungen von persönlichem Glück durch Entfaltung seiner Fähigkeiten beraubt. Zugleich hat er genau hiervor Angst: ein Glücks-Zustand, mithin die positive Erfahrung seiner Selbstentfaltung, könnte ihm zugleich den tiefen Fall in Situationen seiner schlimmsten Befürchtungen bringen. Die Höhen-Angst steht symbolisch hierfür. Sein Erfolgsstreben ist zu hoch, es wird ihm schwindelig und taumelig wie auf der Höhe des Berges, des Turms, der Brücke - und es zieht ihn in die Tiefe. Argentum nitricum strebt aber diesem unerreichbaren "Glücks-Zustand" ständig nach. Er zieht bevorzugt Situationen (wie z.B. Prüfungen oder prüfungsähnliche Konstellationen) an, die seine irrationalen Ängste vor deutlicher Verweigerung seiner ständigen Suche nach Bestätigung und somit Geborgenheit auslöst.

Argentum nitricum als Arznei deckt die wahre Intelligenz dieses Menschen auf, die durch Angst, Ärger, Unsicherheit und Unrast kaschiert wird. Sie schenkt Halt, Ruhe und Überlegenheit.

Magen: "Völle bis zum Zerplatzen", lautes Aufstoßen, Magengeschwür sind ebenso Symptome wie die Neigung zu Blähungen. Dem starken Verlangen nach Süßigkeiten korrespondiert eine - hierdurch bedingte - Unverträglichkeit und die Verschlimmerung von Beschwerden. Dies symbolisiert den Menschen, "der den Bezug zur Lebenssüße verloren hat". Auslöser der Symptome ist mit großer Häufigkeit die Erwartungsspannung.

< 17 h. Hitze ist unverträglich (Sommer).

 

Sil.: Zusammenhang mit Prüfungen sowie Situationen des Sich-Beweisen-Müssens und des Bestehens vor der Welt hat vornehmlich mit seinem mangelnden Selbstwertgefühl und seinen hohen Ansprüchen hinsichtlich der Wirkung auf andere zu tun.

Zeigt sich nach außen hin nachgiebig, zart, feinsinnig, ruhig, gelassen und zuweilen etwas schüchtern, zugleich aber auch korrekt, reserviert und steif.

Achtet in großem Maße auf sein Image. Hieraus resultiert eine große Furcht vor Versagen und davor, von den anderen als unfähig angesehen zu werden. Aus diesem Grunde gibt Silicea in Angriff genommene Möglichkeiten oft vorzeitig auf, weicht vor seiner Verantwortung zurück und ersetzt diese durch rigide und enge moralische Prinzipien, pedantische Kleinlichkeit und Intoleranz.

Tiefgreifenden Erlebnissen des Verlassen-Werdens in der Kindheit zu suchen, aber auch im Extremfalle körperliche Misshandlung oder Missbrauch sind wesentliche Spielarten der kindlichen Verletzungs- Erfahrung. Hieraus ergibt sich ein tief verletztes Selbstwertgefühl, verbunden mit der Empfindung der eigenen Unfähigkeit und großen Ängsten vor Ungewissem. Die tiefere Ursache dieser Haltung kann auch in der Pränatal-Phase gefunden werden. Mangelndes Zutrauen zu sich selbst, zum anderen das Bestreben, in einer Geborgenheit zu verbleiben, die Schutz bietet. Silicea hat eine starke kindliche Sehnsucht nach der Höhle im Mutterleib. Zugleich ist in ihm ein Bestreben nach Selbst-Werdung: er möchte sich gern aufrichten, der Vater als starkes Leitbild und seine Zuneigung sind ihm deshalb sehr wichtig. Hieraus resultiert ein Schutzwall, den sich Silicea aufbaut und der sich in folgenden Merkmalen äußert:

 Großer Drang nach Perfektionismus und Vollkommenheit.

Tendenz zu Flucht, Sich-Entziehen, Weggehen und Distanz zu schwierigen Situationen hängt hiermit unmittelbar zusammen. Damit verbunden ist ein Zurück-Weichen vor und ein vorzeitiges Aufgeben von angstbesetzten Situationen, die Umdeutung schwieriger Gefühle durch Rationalisieren und Intellektualisieren.

Generelles Problem ist das "Verkopft sein". Durch Verletzungen wurde das "Eigene" der Individualität und der Gefühle weggedrückt. Das Leben soll per Kopf-Intellekt gelebt werden, damit eine emotional unerträgliche Situation nicht mehr so belastet. Zentrales Thema "tiefe Furcht vor Misserfolg". Diese führt zuweilen - gleich einer self fullfilling-prophecy - zu dem eigentlich unerwünschten Ergebnis:

Seine Versagensangst bringt - durch Über-Perfektionismus und hohes Anspruchsdenken - in einer Reihe programmierter Verhaltensweisen das befürchtete Versagen geradezu hervor. Silicea leidet unter mangelndem Selbstvertrauen, trotz offenkundigen Hervortretens seiner Talente und Fähigkeiten.

 Angst vor Nadeln und spitzen Gegenständen

 Angst vor engem Kontakt

 Angst vor Prüfung

 Angst vor Versagen und Misserfolg, vor allem bei Prüfungen

 Angst vor Unordnung

 Angst vor geistiger Arbeit

 Angst vor literarischer Arbeit

 Mangelndes Selbstvertrauen

Typische Traum-Motive:

 Eis, Eisscholle, Eiswüste

 Fenster

 Glashaus

 Schnee

 Verletzungen durch Eis

 Klares Wasser

 Kristall

 Sand

 Bloßgestellt werden

 Wasser

 Sinkendes Boot

 Hunde

 Überschwemmungen

Eis hat als Traum-Motiv mit dem Einfrieren von Beziehungen, der Empfindung seelischer Kälte und der Gefahr der inneren Vereinsamung zu tun. Die Eisscholle verstärkt dieses Bild noch, die Eiswüste verweist auf eine seelische Stagnation in diesem Bereich. Das Glashaus beinhaltet die Verkapselung und Abschottung der eigenen Überempfindsamkeit und Verletzlichkeit. Fenster schaffen so etwas wie eine Trenn-Wand zwischen Innen und Außen: von innen beobachte ich mit Distanz die Vorgänge in der Außenwelt. Schnee hat eine ähnliche Bedeutung wie Eis. Wasser verweist auf den Bereich der tiefen Gefühle, und klares Wasser deutet auf das Bedürfnis nach gefühlsmäßiger Klärung und Klarheit hin. Kristall ist das Symbol für Empfindlichkeit, Verletzlichkeit, Misstrauen und Distanz zu den Menschen und zugleich auch für sachliches, nüchternes Denken. Sand als Symbol für Zeit und Vergänglichkeit verdeutlicht die Angst vor Alter und Tod. Der Hund gilt als Schutz gegen Angriffe, steht aber symbolisch auch für Aggressionen. Sinkendes Boot: Zweifel, Verunsicherung, mangelndes Selbstvertrauen durch hochkommende Gefühle; Angst, hierdurch unterzugehen und sich nicht mehr stabilisieren zu können. Die Überschwemmung ist ein Symbol für die Überflutung mit Gefühlen, die in das Bewusstsein dringen.

Die tageszeitliche Verschlimmerung liegt sowohl bei 10 h. als auch bei 15 h. Körperlich wirkt Silicea bei Migräne, Hautentzündungen (Ekzeme), Wachstumsstörungen und wird als Mittel zur Austreibung von Fremdkörpern aus dem Gewebe eingesetzt. Akute und chronische Eiterungen sowie Eiterungen durch Fremdkörper sind ein weiteres Anwendungsgebiet.

 

Gels.: kann von seinem vorrangigen und typischen Kennzeichen als Zitter-Mittel verstanden werden: "Wenn man zu gehen versucht, zittern die Beine. Die Hände zittern, wenn man sie zu heben versucht. Die Zunge zittert, beim Versuch, sie herauszustrecken". Von den Gemüts-Symptomen ist der Gelsemium-Typ vor allem in für ihn schwierigen Situationen "träge, schläfrig und scheut Bewegung". Die geistigen Fähigkeiten sind schwach: kann weder klar denken noch seine Aufmerksamkeit auf einen Punkt richten, will ungestört sein, wünscht nicht zu sprechen oder irgend jemand zur Gesellschaft zu haben, selbst wenn die anwesende Person schweigt.

Gelsemium befindet sich in dem circulus vitiosus, dass Angst Schwäche erzeugt, und dass jede weitere Schwäche seine Angst noch verstärkt. Sein Grundmuster in der Erwartungsangst ist die Befürchtung: "Irgendwann werden sie mich umbringen". Er zittert vor Angst. Seine "innere Sicherheit geht durch Erwartungsangst vollständig verloren".

Überreichliches Wasser-Lassen und Durchfall korrespondieren auf körperlicher Ebene diesen Symptomen. Von ihrer Symbolik deuten sie darauf hin, daß Gelsemium davor zurückscheut, sich auf Erfahrungen überhaupt einzulassen und daß er sie - aus Schwäche - möglichst schnell hinter sich bringen möchte.

Gelsemium weicht der Verantwortung, der Realität und Begegnungen mit der Umwelt aus. Die Angst vor Eigenverantwortung führt dazu, dass er sich jeder Anforderung durch Schwäche und Ohnmacht entzieht. Vor allem unvorhergesehene Ereignisse, Situationen und Herausforderungen sind für ihn furcht- und somit Schwäche auslösend. Seine Fall-Ängste sind ein Ausdruck dessen, wie sehr er sich in seiner Schwäche bedroht und ausgeliefert fühlt. Mit letzter Kraft versucht er, sich an etwas Greifbarem festzuhalten, um nicht irgendwo hinunterzustürzen. "Alle Bewegungen nach unten rufen in ihm große Ängste hervor, weil er dabei wohl im übertragenen Sinne sehr stark das Gefühl hat, dass es mit ihm 'abwärts' geht. Er bangt um seine augenblickliche und einigermaßen sichere Situation, und so kann jede Bewegung nach unten ihn wieder mit seiner Furcht vor dem Fall in Kontakt bringen".

Schwermut, Traurigkeit, depressives Verhalten und stiller Kummer gehen mit diesen Schwäche- und Ohnmachts-Zuständen einher.

Gelsemium antwortet einsilbig bzw. kurz oder barsch, damit seine Schwächen nicht entdeckt werden, oder seine Antworten kommen langsam.

< 9 - 11 h./Frühjahr.

Die Unsicherheit, die Neu-Anfang und Neu-Aufbruch mit sich bringt, ist für Gelsemium besonders lähmend. Körperlich wird Gelsemium bei Nervenschmerzen, Muskellähmungen, Herzmuskelentzündungen und als Fieber- und Beruhigungsmittel eingesetzt.
