Good suggestion, throw in a suggestion for counseling for the daughter as

well, sounds like they BOTH need it... Separate counselors, one who deals

with Teens and one for mom...

Hi again,

 

Boy I am sending a lot of messages today for

someone that usually lurks!

 

A customer came in today with her 15 year old

daughter. Her daughter is a great kid but is

having issues as many teenagers do today. She has

worked here in the store with me quite a number

of times then all of a sudden decided she no

longer wanted to learn aromatherapy.

 

1. She has ADD

2. She resists the authority of her mother (does

great with me).

3. She had told me that she has trouble with

trust issues, feeling free enough to express her

feelings and also that she does not have any

problems at all.

4. My observations: She has personality

conflicts. By that I mean it is like two

different people. One minute she is the sweetest

girl around and the next - the meanest. She is a

great worker, follows instructions and loves to

learn. She is a compulsive liar, she skips

school, is already sexually active and has been

for at least a year that I know of, and last -

today she was suspended from school. (she will

not tell me why).

5. Her mother's observations: Is angry all the

time, disrespectful, no manners, lies, skips

school, deliberately breaks things, won't do her

assigned chores, won't do her homework. And the

list goes on.

6. When the two of them are together they are

butting heads constantly.

 

My recommendation to the mother was for

professional counselling. I explained that I did

not readily know what to do or if aromatherapy or

herbs would help her daughter since her daughter

does not think she has any problems.

 

Her mother's request was if their was an herbal

remedy or aromatherapy treatment that would help

her daughter.

 

This one has me pulling out all my books but

everything I have tried (diffuser remedies)

 

1. Lemon, Bergamot and Palmarosa

2. Patchouli, Vetiver and Sandalwood

 

There were a couple of others but I can not find

them right now. I need some help on this one.

This teenager is right on the edge - she could go

either way.

 

I would appreciate suggestions, ideas, etc.

 

TIA,

Hey Kathleen,

 

Yes that is what I told the mother. Both need

counselling separately and together!.

 

Thanks for answering.

Yeah but it is hard to find a therapist who really connects...

 

Is there a Waldorf school in Anchorage?- I think there is-Aurora Waldorf

School? they may have someone on staff or in their community that could be

very helpful. Adolescence is such a hard time and our society hasnt any

" coming out " rituals for teens- they really are emerging personalities- a

conflict within themselves- NOT ADD or Multiple personality- normal - but

needs a nourishing " garden " from which to grow...

 

What about an essendulum with a blend for her? Melissa, Roman Cham, Neroli

and just a wee tad of heli and Spikenard(very little) come to mind for me...

 

I would love to work with adolescents more- as I really think they need the

support to be who they are!

 

Blessings

A good book is " Reviving Ophelia " by Mary Pipher

Very true and the mother said they had already

tried counselling but it did not work.

So very very true. I wish she would start coming

in on Saturdays again, even if it is just to

visit. Teens are people that I usually connect

with. My two are fully grown but when they were

younger I had my hands full and not just with

them - they brought home all the young people

that were hmmmmm how do I say this: not so much

as neglected by their parents but did not trust

them with their emotions. These young people

would hang around and they would not be there

very long before they started to tell me all the

things that bothered them. I never asked but

would definitely listen. Just talking to someone

seemed to help many of them.
