πŸ”Š The Flower Essence Podcast

FEP88 Bach Flowers and Neurodivergence

In this episode, Rochana and Kathleen explore neurodiversity and the application of Bach flowers as a balancing, stress-reducing complementary therapy for people with Autism, ADHD, and other forms of neurodivergence.

We reframe some of the traditional, sometimes judgmental-sounding, Bach flower descriptions into a more modern, neuro-affirming framework that supports lived experience rather than treating brain differences as problems or disorders.

Rochana brings in her story as a late-diagnosed "AuDHD" woman as we discuss Heather, Pine, Hornbeam, Elm, Olive, and Agrimony in the context of common neurodivergent challenges such as executive functioning, sensory overwhelm, burnout, masking, self-focus, and shame.

clematis flowers

Dear Reader, You may already know Holly. You may have reached for Pine dozens of times. Clematis and Honeysuckle may have been sitting in your kit for years. So why spend two hours with each pair? Because one of the things we’ve learned from decades of working with flower essences is that familiarity can sometimes hide as much as it reveals. We learn the indications. We recognize the patterns. We develop our shorthand. And then a plant, a client, or a conversation shows us something we hadn’t...

flowering honeysuckle

Hello there Reader, Someone seems disengaged from their life. They’re distracted, daydreaming, not fully present. Clematis or Honeysuckle? On paper, the two can sound quite similar. Even the plants have something in common: both are scrambling, climbing types. But look more closely, and they’re moving in very different directions. 🌿 With Clematis, the person isn’t fully here because they’re… somewhere else. Unfocused, floating, not quite bringing their full presence into physical reality. 🌸...
