Woman, 36, headache.
A thirty-year-old woman comes into the practice because of her headache. She has this headache since she has her menstruation. She always has a headache one to two days before the start of the menstruation. The pain begins at the left forehead and extends along the cranium. It is a tearing pain and better by closing eyes and rest. Worse is her headache by overexertion. She also quickly gets a sore throat as a result of overexertion and drafts.
She works part time in retail trade.
After her first child she became depressed because her child had suffered from flatulence colic and had only screamed. She could sleep neither night nor day, and no one could take her child off, it took two years to recover from that time.
Many people like to come to her to pour out their hearts. (Lanthanide quality, confidante, who can listen, deep thinker) But her problem is that she can not do all her work with household, children and her job anymore (Have to work a lot, stage 8). Most of the time this people are friends and family (Silicon series) and that is difficult for her because she does not have so much time - but there is always someone there and she has so much to do. (Stage 8) She is afraid that someone is offended, so she does not dare to say, that she has something else to do. Arguments are the worst for her, than she is awake all night. If it comes to a conflict, this must be discussed and solved immediately. (< Quarrel, Phase 2, difficulties to draw a line between mine and the needs of others = Phase 3) She is a sensitive (plant kingdom) and quiet person.
Childhood: She is the youngest of three sisters, she always had the feeling that she is just the „little one" (DD. Lacticum, the latecomer) just someone who was also there. She always has missed cuddling, she had never had her own doll or her own stuff, she just walked with it. (Phase 2, only half belong to) She can still remember intensely a situation where her older sisters were allowed to go on holiday with her aunt, but she had to stay at home because there was no room for her ( to determine once place = Mag., Stage 2, Phase 2) and the parents had told her "you stay with us“. She was never listened to when she wanted to express her needs (not seen, not heard = Phase 3). She never felt completely accepted (Phase 3) and always helped her mother with her work a lot. She often got up early in the weekend and cleaned the house or made breakfast to help the mother. (Phase 3 pleasing) She also remembers a vacation in the fourth grade of her time in school, where she was not homesick at all, because she was so happy to be there and not have to work constantly. (Constantly working, Stage 8)
Father: He has always worked a lot, during the day his regular work and in the afternoon on their farm.There was a family trip only once a year. For the children, there was no time, but today he takes great care of his grandchildren and is often with her.
Mother: The mother is as sensitive as she is, she has never recognized this as a child. For her, the mother was always the strong, the hardworking one. Her mother-in-law was in the house and she came to the farm at the age of nineteen when she had married her father. She always had to do what her mother-in-law gave order to her. (Phase 2, adapt to the mother-in-law, she says that she is similar to her mother, this is a confirmation of the Phase, the phase is deeper than the Subphase and she is more like her mother than her father)
Plants: Her garden is the place where she gets back her inner balance, especially she likes the Echinaceae and sunflowers, roses and the Buxus sempervirens;
Dream: She has an argument with her sister, about who has what to work, or because she took her doll. She still dreams of arguments today. (DD. Mag. Phase 2)

What she really does, she cares about the family and the Silicon series
friends (= Silicon series), there is also her main conflict.
she cannot say no for fear of quarreling, because of the risk that the relationship with her family and friends will break. 90% of the time in the consultation is about her family and friends.
Aizoales 663.20 Phase 2: Phase is how she perceives her situation, she is only half- belonging, only half accepted, the „little one", the one who is not so important. (= inadequate) She has a strong fear of quarrels and she dreams of quarrels, as confirmation for Phase 2 is that her mother adapts to her mother-in-law. (DD. Magnesium, < quarrels, cramps) She says that she is as sensitive as her mother, this means that she is similar to her mother, which confirms that the mother represents the phase here. This is because in the phase it is a deeper quality of identification with a character, „more how she is“ or „what she does“, than in the Subphase. Subphase is more „what is done to her“, what one experience from outside, or from the other.
The deeper connection with a parent represents the phase, this is possible also in a negative sense, for example a father who has neglected one.

She felt not heard and not seen (DD Boraginaceae, all remedies in phase 3 can have this kind of perception) her concerns were never heard.

Keynote: Sea sickness.
