The homeopathic principle

The homeopathic principle states that an organism is trying to express, or excel it's dysfunction. The best way to help this effort is to aid the process of expressing or excelling. If the body is trying to get rid of some poison (in food poisoning), the best remedy that one can offer to the person is something that will aide the excelling process, i.e. something that will take over the body's effort to expell the disturbing substance and as a result will give the opportunity to relax and recover for the body.
The other day I was thinking that psychodynamic therapy is very much in line with this thinking. There are psychotherapies that are more aligned wit the allopathic thinking, which is based on the theory that the problem needs to be fixed, stopped, cleared up. While the intention is good, and is often effective, the medications stop the body's (and mind's) natural process of elimination. They go against, they fight the body (and the mind and the person). They prove the body (mind, person) wrong and they teach the body (.., ...) how to do it better, how to be more effective. While it is a fine idea to do this, this often meets resistance in the person. In the body. In the mind.
The idea in homeopathy is well documented and I do not intend to recite that theory. For me this is a new idea when it is translated into the world of psychotherapy:
the approach in psychotherapy I am prone to is an expression of the individual, a ways of finding the root cause of the problem in the very experience of the person. While the therapist is encouraging the patient to talk about their view of their problem, their relationships and their experiences, these form some themes for the person. Their unconscious experience is coming to the surface in some form of conscious manifestation. It is not always a solution per se to the problems the person is facing. it is often a revisiting process of one's experience, a retelling of one's stories and in this process of expression one finds the healing, the reorganization of the unconscious self experience into a more balanced self image. Healing happens, as in homeopathic theories, through this expression of one's imbalance. The sheer telling of the story in a therapeutic environment and in the presence of the expert guidance of a therapist the story, the expression transforms into the vehicle of healing.
This is in parallel with homeopathic theory and the same forces are seen in action. In this lies the body's and mind's own self-healing power. The encouragement for expression is the key to healing. The faith in the process is the art of the therapist.
