That trapped butterfly image reminds me of Iris Murdoch's novel, The Bell.
It's difficult to interpret this kind of thing because as homoeopaths we are not psychotherapists. I would look at basics like tongue, hair, teeth, nails, food dis/likes etc to narrow it down and then try to understand the case through the remedies that come through. This is how homoeopaths can get insight into the psyche - through understanding the remedy process that is happenning rather than by amateur psychoanalysis. I have made this mistake myself in the past.
I am grateful to GM for having taught me how to prescribe this way. GM taught me to be many times more effective as a prescriber than I was when I completed homoeopathy school.
GM I am very grateful for this and publically acknowledge it.
