FEP88 Bach Flowers and Neurodivergence
Episode 88
Tuesday, 8 September, 2026
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, often judgmental, Bach flower descriptions into a more modern, neuro-affirming framework that supports lived experience rather than treating brain differences as 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. We'll also be doing a deep dive into some of these essences in our upcoming live cohort of Bach Flowers in Contemporary Practice, the last in the series, taught by Ruth and Kathleen beginning Sept. 24th. 00:00 Opening 03:03 Neuro framing 13:15 Heather 19:20 Pine 24:15 Hornbeam 30:54 Elm 32:00 Olive 34:15 Elm and Olive 36:00 Industrial society 39:14 Agrimony 42:43 Contemporary Practice 44:54 Closing 🌼 Full show notes on the Flower Essence Podcast website. ❤️ Like this episode?
