Flower Essence Care for long term issues

Somebody's wristwatch lost on mudflats, hanging on a branch so it can be found.  The image of watch and mud representing long term issues.
Long term issues are the ones that we have struggled with on and off for years, or in some cases most of our lives. Most of us have emotional patterns, habits, reactions or attitudes that cause us difficulty from time to time.  If we are lucky we can 'live with it', and over time we all find our own coping mechanisms. 

Clients often seek help for these issues when there is some sort of crisis and their normal coping mechanisms are no longer working well enough.  Other clients seek help when they are just tired of the effort required to 'manage' their issues, habits and attitudes. 

Using flower essences while you are working with old issues can support you in a number of ways:
  • immediate feeling of support for emotions and reactions
  • improving your sense of resilience
  • supporting insight into the nature of your patterns and reactions
  • gradual change and ability to react more healthily

The length of time required to change old patterns and feelings
varies greatly from person to person.  Sometimes it's a pleasant surprise to see old patterns shift quite fast.  At other times the process is slow and gradual, most often when there are many connected issues or the underlying issues are not yet clear to the client.

One off appointments or a series

Some clients choose to come for appointments for long term issues from time to time, whenever they feel the need.  Others choose to have a series of regular appointment over a number of months.  The extra benefits of a series of regular appointments:
  • the progressive change that comes from longer term use of the essences
  • increased awareness through active engagement in the process
  • regular opportunity to explore the issues and your progress
  • feedback and guidance you get in your consultation 

Combined with other therapies

Clients who are working with long term issues are often engaged in other therapies such as counselling or psychotherapy.  Others may be using anti-anxiety medication or anti-depressants*.  As the essences foster greater awareness of our issues, feelings and behaviors they generally support the efforts of talk therapies very well.

Flower Essence Care is not intended as a replacement for other appropriate medical care, and decisions regarding any other medications are, of course, the responsibility of the original prescriber.
* Flower Essences will not interfere with, or interact with anti-anxiety medication or anti-depressants. Their action is energetic rather than physiological.

A smart modern chimney with creeper growing up it. Still only partly covered, these long term issues haven't fully got a hold yet.




A weather vane barely visible through a mass of creeper, these long term issues have really got a hold.
