In a case of despair and existential anxiety, Pinus contorta leads to an awareness of one's own identity.
The impending breakdown of his relationship with his wife brings the patient to the brink of a life-threatening crisis. The feeling that he only has a right to exist if he is useful to others is countered by the sensation of plunging, alone and cast out, into a vast emptiness and dissolving. The Autor identifies, using the method of vital sensation, the little-known remedy Pinus contorta from the group of conifers and confirms it in the repertory.
