BACH FLOWER ESSENCES HELP DEAL WITH INCEST EXPERIENCES
WHAT IS INCEST
Incest is defined as intercourse between blood relatives. Most of the time this term will be used as well when sexual abuse takes place by an adult in a parental role. So here the elder has a position of power over the child. Incest within a family structure happens more than sexual abuse by strangers. Therefore incest is a grossly underestimated problem!
CONSEQUENCES OF INCEST
Incest has profound consequences on the ability to function later in life by the victim. Besides from psychosomatic complaints like headaches, stomach aches and sleep problems, psychic complaints like anxiety attacks, nightmares, concentration problems, aggressive behaviour, depression, suicide tendency, feelings of guilt, self-disgust, negative self-image and mood swings occur as well. The emotional consequences of incest can haunt a person their whole life. Bach Flower Essences do not take the experience away but can help overcome the emotional consequences in order to lead a normal life again.
BACH FLOWER ESSENCES NEUTRALISE THE EMOTIONAL CONSEQUENCES
Victims of incest are mostly very fearful. They have a generalised fear of men and are quickly startled by physical touch. Panic and nervousness are the consequences of an underlying fear. There is a constant worry about what could happen next. These fears often express themselves in nightmares and insomnia.
· Negative self-image
Because of the incest experience they have the constant feeling of being filthy and dirty. They are disgusted by their own body and have a profound negative self-mage. They feel filthy, contaminated which can lead to obsessive behaviour like mysophobia and anorexia.
· Feelings of guilt
Although they are not to blame, children will often feel guilty about the incest event. Bach Flower Essences will help them see that they are not to blame for what happened.
· Repress feelings
Because incest mostly happens in a family structure the child will keep it to himself. They will not talk to anybody about it and are therefore burdened with inner torments. To the outside world they will appear strong but behind that appearance you will find fear and sorrow.
· Despair
All these emotions can lead to a feeling of despair, a feeling that there is no way out of this misery. They will have thoughts of suicide as a solution to escape their situation.
· Trauma and sorrow
Incest is a traumatic experience that creates a lot of sorrow for the person. Trauma’ can cause a blockage in the emotional life of the person. This blockage needs to be removed in order to let the energies run free again and the recovery process begin.
