Two weeks ago, I suggested a client try the Sauromatum as a single essence. This client has an ongoing issue of being everyone's
helper and
caretaker and finding it difficult to take care of herself. As a result,
she's exhausted and
totally overwhelmed by the many, many people who want things from her.
Historically, she has great difficulty setting priorities between the many
competing demands made of her.
At the follow-up visit, today, a lot of movement was seen! She is now
grieving that her
friends really don't want to reciprocate her caretaking...that they haven't
been there for her
when she needed them. She is very shocked to realize that they manipulate
her and that
some will do anything to get her to help them. She thinks she probably knew
this
for a long time, but wouldn't admit it to herself before. She says
forcefully that she doesn't
want to maintain most of these relationships any more, either.
She also reports feeling frustrated about things that have needed doing
around her house. She is tired of having these chores hang on as they
are
unimportant except that they are getting in the way of forward motion.
She reported a moment of crystal clarity in which she saw how an
acquaintance was trying to manipulate her, and she (uncharacteristically)
"saw it coming and didn't fall for it." She expressed with great feeling
that what other people fret about as problems are often unimportant;
she
just can't see wasting her own energy on these non-vital issues.
No physical complaints at all were made today. This may be a first time
for no
such reports!
Now, let's hope for some good follow-through. It is a complex and
important transition between caretaking and self-caring, and it deserves
ongoing support. I suspect we will need to turn to an essence which
addresses this sense of loss and grief if it does not pass soon of its own
accord. She
complained that her new clarity about her relationships makes her feel alienated, and this, too, might
represent a future
direction for our essence work together.
