Palladium -- Leela D'Souza |
 |
|||
|
Needing to feel appreciated is what can cause tremendous anticipatory anxiety in Palladium related to their performance in exams or public speaking as they create high expectations of themselves. This can appear very much like Silica, Argentum Nitricum, in partially taken histories. They are often guided by what they believe is the right thing to
do in life. And they can get rigid about avoiding doing wrong, or
doing things in a particular way. They sincerely believe that they
have learnt the best way to achieve the best results. Complementary
to this, is a fear of failing to do things the right way, as they
have a fear of being rejected or unloved. So they can appear flexible
(Pulsatilla) till they find something that works best. Hence
the rubric: Some of the central rubrics in Palladium are more clearly
expressed in areas whey they lack confidence or feel insecure. Argentum Nitricum: The feeling here is of being despised
for not being able to handle crisis situations well. They feel at
fault within (errors of perception, hidden irrational motives for
actions) which they try to hide. They always feel they have to find
a way out of a crisis. IF they do not, they feel trapped, hence
the fear of closed spaces. In this struggle, they can often feel
neglected by their close family when they do not get their approval.
Hyoscyamus: A person needing Hyos seeks to attract
attention at any cost to avoid feeling forsaken. And this would
include even shameless or provocative behavior. They clown at a
party just for the attention they get. Pulsatilla: A person needing Puls would be very clingy,
seek attention to be comforted and protected. They can be manipulative
to get attention if necessary and can try to please in any way possible
for this. They feel dependant on others for survival and hence seek
this attention. Once the person reaches this point of feeling forsaken, then the
other aspects of the pathology in remedy are expressed: Here some aspects of Pulsatilla and Platina can be seen. Palladiums feel easily offended and insulted from lack of appreciation. Their response is to weep easily (like Puls). They feel immensely sad and weep for almost everything, but the exciting factor is some situation of humiliation. Platina can be openly offensive in return, due to a deep feeling of inferiority or being scorned (syphilitic miasm) and a compensatory feeling of superiority. Palladium does not feel basically inferior, but has specific areas where they lack confidence and so they feel that they are not good enough (sycotic miasm). Hence the scorned feeling in Platina is completely different from the humiliation that Palladium feels. Phosphorous is a remedy that can resemble Palladium
in many aspects, and often may be complementary in a person. Phos
is predominantly Tubercular miasm while Palladium is Sycotic
miasm. Both need attention and love, and seek to please others for
this love - the flip side is that they may be exhausting in ther
demands. The major difference is that Phos may be more self
sacrificing in giving love, while Pall creates expectations
to succeed and be the best, as they fear being rejected and unloved
if they were not. Scholton’s description: As we can see, this is a one-sided picture of Palladium, an aspect that could be part of the Palladium pathology in certain situations, but often one may miss a Palladium prescription if one is looking only for this. -Successfully showing your works of art: - Performance is easy, it comes naturally: - Their honest conviction that they are brilliant and talented can easily turn into pride. They start to speak with the air of someone who has made it. - The sportsman who has reached the top: |
