Q10) Can the emotions that surface as a result of my healing process disrupt my relationships?

This is a possibility. When I first started taking remedies years ago, this was sometimes the case for me. However, in time I learned how to separate the feelings that were surfacing from the past with what was occurring in my present life. Essentially, I had to remember over and over again that the source of my unrest was the emotional baggage I was clearing from my past, not the actions of my current friends or significant other.

If you're concerned about your healing process causing undue stress in any of your relationships, I suggest that you do your best to be honest with the people close to you about what you're processing up-front, before the feelings surface. For example, you might say - "I'm taking a homeopathic remedy that may help me surface repressed anger, so I may be a little touchy in the next week or so. If anger comes up, I'll do my best to process it outside of our interaction, but know that I'm going through this process, so I may be more moody than usual."

Sometimes this type of awareness helps. Other times the current situation serves as a necessary trigger to help resurface the old anger and in the moment, you and your loved one may forget that it may be related to your healing process. Also, some situations require a strong emotional response for self-parenting (e.g. anger to assist in setting healthy boundaries). In any event, it's usually desirable to let your immediate loved ones know that old feelings may be resurfacing, causing present feelings to be more intensified.
