Maria Rosa:
building confidence to accept life’s circumstances

Patient: Maria Rosa, 59 years old
Institution: Caritas
Therapists: Silvia and Alicia

Maria Rosa's background

Maria Rosa has been separated from her husband for several years; however, recently they decided to come back together. She has two daughters living outside the country for whom she worries a lot but they are closely connected.

The relationship with her mother is not good: she feels ignored by her Mom.

The relationship with her husband is not good either: he is an addict to gambling and manipulates her; she cannot express her annoyance.

Maria Rosa's complaints

Maria Rosa is anguished, insecure, and very nervous; she is not sure that living with her husband is the right direction in her life. She has bruxism and tachycardia.

Maria Rosa's treatment

The following flower essences were prescribed in slightly different combinations along several months:

Red Chestnut to decrease her extreme concern about her daughters

Mariposa Lily to improve the relationship with her Mom

Chestnut Bud, Echinacea, Scleranthus, and Rue to become aware of the importance of shared family responsibilities: which responsibilities belong to her and which ones belong to others

Scarlet Monkeyflower and Mountain Pride to be able to express her repressed annoyance

Scarlet Monkeyflower and Mountain Pride

Maria Rosa's outcome

When Maria Rosa stopped her treatment, she was calmer, less anguished; her bruxism had decreased, she did not have tachycardia anymore and she looked more confident in terms of accepting the present and being able to find the right approach regarding her family situation.
