This is what I meant above when I said there must have been something in the Arnica that I was taking given that I sensed an effect. There is also the part in homeopathic medicine that claims if an otherwise toxic substance is diluted that much, it will actually have the opposite effect and eliminate what higher doses cause.
I do understand the clash or values though when someone feels quite strongly about something another person does not, and vice versa. After all, compatible basic values are very important in all relationships and incompatible values often cause the failure of a specific interpersonal combo. I think the latter type of incompatibility was actually what caused escalating conflicts and eventually the so-called rupture without repair with my first T. And Ts often interpret that sort of thing as negative transference, which is incorrect IMO.
