The author describes confidence as a broad, layered theme.
1. At a primary social level, Lycopodium and Argentum Nitricum are described as supporting social stability and courage, without necessarily changing deeper identity structures.
2. At a second level, Platina and Aurum are described as working more with inner value.
3. For deeper experiences of unworthiness or not being ideal enough, the author names Psorinum, Carcinosinum, Lyssinum and, at an even deeper symbolic level, Secale Cornutum.
In this authorial model, Secale Cornutum is associated with the idea of basic dignity in the face of a felt sense of defect or impurity.
