Myrrha, the precious gift for the softening of suffering; four cases
by Enna Stallinga
Mrs. B. suffers from burn-out and feels completely out of balance emotionally. She used to scream once in a while, due to the panic that she was feeling. “I have so much sadness, I don’t know who I am. I push myself to do so much, I have enormous willpower. I am very tense, I place high demands on myself and I try to make others feel happy.” She has used anti-depressants for years. She was a cheerful child, with dyslexia. She has a very dominant mother and her grandmother died when she was eight years old. She had to do a lot for her mother but had the feeling that she could never do it well enough. Her father did not have the slightest interest in her; "No matter how hard I tried, I could never live up to my parents’ expectations.” She loudly voices her opinion when she perceives injustice. She is an excellent school-teacher and feels that she can be herself with the children.
Physicals: throat infections as a child, muscular cramps especially in the neck, better from motion. Recurrent bladder infections.
Desires: almost everything, especially fruit.
She received Olibanum as her first remedy, to which she reacted well. (I did not know Myrrha at that time). She processed much sadness, became less tense, and could reduce her medication. She still needed some anti-depressants, however, to remain in balance. After Myrrha, it went very well for her. She felt herself becoming quieter and stronger; she now dares to say what she thinks. The anger towards her family has almost disappeared. She can be at home without feeling she has to do things. She is doing very well.
