Empaths and highly sensitive people often go into hermit mode because of emotional and energy overload, picked up and absorb from people, places and situations.
If pic below mirrors a cycle you often go through, you’re probably an empath or Highly Sensitive Person (HSP).
We deeply feel, absorb the emotions around us or get very easily overwhelmed by noise, crowds, bright lights, general over stimulation where others don’t.
Sensitivity is a gift, but It’s no fun and can be debilitating.
Without the right emotional support, it can sometimes feel exhausting, but help can be found with Bach Flowers - they’re saviours.
Flowers essences are always ready to support, giving freedom from these states that aren’t usually yours.
The best ones are:
🌸 Agrimony – helps released stifled emotions often hidden behind a mask of cheerfulness. This remedy helps process deep emotions rather than bottling them up and being honest with yourself and others about how you feel.
🌸 Aspen - empaths are highly intuitive, which can sometimes lead to feelings of unease or unexplained fears for no reason. Aspen is the remedy is for anxiety you can’t put your finger on, helping to bring a sense of inner security and calm.
🌸 Centaury - the boundary setter and helps you say no. Very helpful for avoiding compassion fatigue. This is hard when you’re naturally a helper, often putting others' needs before your own. Centaury supports the ability to say no without guilt, strengthening assertiveness and self-worth.
🌸 Chicory – letting go of being overly attached. Deep empathy brings the risk of over-caring, being overly sensitive to criticism or becoming too emotionally entangled in people’s problems. Chicory helps balance emotional attachment, allowing an empathetically sensitive to offer love and support without becoming too embroiled.
🌸 Crab Apple - this is for emotionally cleansing. It helps wash away the build up of emotions we pick up, store and carry with us from others.
🌸 Elm – for overwhelm and feeling responsibility for others. Life’s demands can become too much. Elm gives relief from feeling these feelings pressures and restores confidence in our ability to cope.
🌸 Mimulus – reduces fear of thing you know.
Different from Aspen, which deals with vague fears, Mimulus is for known fears—such as fear of crowded places. It’s invaluable for empaths who experience anxiety in specific social or sensory-overloading situations.
🌸 Pine – lets go of guilt and self blame.
Highly sensitives can be overly self-critical and taking on guilt even when they’ve done nothing wrong. Pine helps nurtures self-compassion and acceptance.
🌸 Walnut - acts as a mind protector, maintain your emotional boundaries and stay grounded in your own feelings and not be influenced by others. It’s a balancing remedy, especially during times of change or transition.
🌸 Water Violet – helps find balance when an empath is in solitary mode. Being a hermit is an empath’s grace. Craving alone time to recharge, but this can sometimes lead to isolation or feeling misunderstood. Water Violet helps set healthy independence while allowing for deeper connections.
