He has less fear of strangers and of new situations. He’s laughing less when talking. He discovered that he did it to make others feel safer, so that he could feel safe. It was to hide himself. He’s expressing himself more. He can choose a new path.
He has had a talk with his parents and that went very well. His father had been asking for it a long time already, but he didn't want it before. He has thrown away all his books about enhancing consciousness. He’s going to a therapist to step out of the circle.As a reaction he had very marked tension between the shoulder blades for 2 days. Then he felt better and better. He had a dream: he was living in a new house, he called his parents in out of a guilt feeling, but regretted it immediately; then his parents started hugging each other (even though divorced) and he had to reassure them.
Two years later he has lost most of his anxieties. He has worked out the problems with his parents and feels free from them. He’s more himself.
In the past Tantalum helped him quite well with his nystagmus. He got more confidence and felt he was allowed to be here. After Tantalum he had a dream of being treated like a Chinese emperor.
