Mental complaints

Between stimulus and response there is a space.
In that space is our power to choose our response.
In our response lies our growth and our freedom.

—Victor Frankl

Psychological complaints, complaints of a "soul in need" are in my particular interest and this especially in connection with homeopathy.

Initially confronted with psychiatric complaints within my family at an early age, the daily work and continuous study of homeopathy give me many insights and food for thought.

The value of homeopathy in the treatment of mental complaints and illnesses lies in its own principles of individuality and holism. It offers support for the balance of body and soul.

Under the menu item "Homeopathy" I write: every human being is an individual. Therefore, the symptoms of the disease are always individual – each person suffers "in her own way". This also applies in the case of psychological complaints and illnesses.

Everyone reacts differently to difficult life situations and processes them differently too. In this way, one person can cope well with a certain situation to which another reacts with fear, panic, withdrawal, or depression.

In my homeopathic work, I am therefore particularly interested in how someone deals with the issues and difficulties in their life and how they react to them.

Homeopathic treatment does not replace psychotherapy or psychiatric intervention. However, from my practical experience, I know that psychotherapy and homeopathy can complement each other nicely.

A homeopathic medicine is not a direct replacement for a – possibly already long-standing – medication. Rather, a homeopathic treatment and accompaniment offers the possibility to reduce medication intake over time.

The intake of medication and a simultaneous homeopathic treatment goes along well.
