Do you have a child who is a Pine
personality?
If so, he or she probably tries your
patience with the never-ending words, “I’m sorry.” No matter how
many times you
might say “There’s nothing to be sorry for,” it doesn’t help. A few minutes
later he or she will be apologizing again.
Years ago, before I knew that Bach
Flower Essences could help such folks, I knew a young boy who was a Pine
personality. You could not speak with him for more than a minute or two before
he said "I'm sorry."
He was a bit of a mischief maker, so there were times when he really did need to say these words. He was, after all, the 12-year old you could catch smoking out behind the barn. Most of the time, however, there was absolutely nothing to be sorry for. Most of the time he was a sweet and considerate child. He was sorry anyway.

At the time, I thought his
misbehavior was a way to get attention, and of course that could have been part
of the problem. He was the youngest of three children his Mother had from her
first marriage. Now he had a younger sister who appeared to be the apple of
both his Mother’s and his Step-father’s eyes.
Feeling brushed aside is not good
for Pine personalities. Above all things, they long for love, acceptance, and attention.
After researching and studying the
Bach Flower Essences, I've learned that people in the severe Pine state do tend
to apologize for their very existence. They don't seem to recognize that they
deserve to live, and certainly not to live happily.
In extreme cases, the Pine personality will even apologize for events that happened long before his or her birth.
Because they lack joy in life, they are often tired and are prone to illness. And they'll apologize for bothering people by becoming ill.
If you have a child or another loved one who suffers from this energy imbalance, read the rest of the story about Pine, and then come back to FeelBach! and get him or her started on treatment. You'll be giving your loved one a valuable gift.
