Beginning at the moment of the DHS (Dirk Hamer Syndrome), the organism enters sympathecotonia (sympathetic nervous system dominance): cold extremities, early waking, obsessive thinking, and diminished appetite, as well as tissue or functional changes in the body.

Tissue or functional changes in the body occur according to germ layer rules and continue until the conflict is resolved.

The intensity of sympathecotonia and tissue or functional changes depends on the intensity of the biological conflict in the psyche.

The conflict-active phase, sympathecotonia, and tissue or functional changes end at the moment the biological conflict is resolved in the psyche.
