The constant theme of this remedy is of an insecurity about safety and finding an otherwise familiar environment threatening. A fear of being alone in particular at night may lead to destructive tendencies urinating or defaecating in the house in the same place each time. These symptoms may develop after a sudden change in circumstances such as a house move. It may become over attached to 1-2 persons and occasionally aggressive with strangers. Fear of dark and mirrors are keynotes. Separation anxiety.
