AN A-Z OF EMOTIONAL PAIN: ANXIETY, BETRAYAL AND EXHAUSTION
Anxiety needs reassurance that the person is safe within their boundaries, whether these are physical or emotional. If the former, certain measures may need to be taken; if the latter, then my choice is the Bach Flower remedies aspen and agrimony, together with other remedies chosen after questioning the patient. I suggest an affirmation to be said each day. My favourite one is ‘I am safe, every day, in every way’.
Betrayal-If people have repeatedly let you down in the past, then you will have difficulty trusting others and yourself.
The Bach Flower remedy cerato is for distrust and lack of confidence. Group classes in personal development are also very helpful, as you can slowly achieve comfort within a supportive network of similar minded people who are willing to help and be helped.
Exhaustion-The many complex causes of energy wipe-out are discussed very fully in my first book Why Am I So Tired? However, emotional tiredness, due to conflicting emotions, can cause exhaustion. I have experienced burn-out and found that two weeks’ total relaxation, mostly spent sleeping, was my cure.
In my clinical experience, vitamin B complex is very important (taken with meals), and I advise taking a Bach Flower remedy mixture of centuary, olive, hornbeam, vervain, wild-rose or clematis, depending on the specific circumstance.
If your belief system doesn’t work for you, change it. When people tell me I’m tired and I know that I have another three hours work, then I reject the suggestion until I have time to be tired. Don’t forget, though, tiredness is natural after hard work.
