Our best strengths that help us achieve in life are at the same time our worst enemies and most painful weaknesses. Why is that?
In homeopathic case taking I listen to the person's experiences in life and the way they describe these. Often it is clear that the same patterns that create the helpful, positive, unique strength in the person in one end of the spectrum, in one extreme, the same pattern is recognizable at the other end of the spectrum where the person is struggling with the same patterns, qualities, experiences. while the pattern is the same, it can be helpful in one extreme and unhelpful in the other extreme. I think that in psychotherapy we see these as the person's defenses. These are behaviors, patterns, unconscious anxieties and drives that makes the person move and act and protect himself. On the other hand, the same person cannot shed this pattern and behave well other times. The same pattern will create the negative and the unpleasant, as well as the passionate and creative behaviors.
