From The Twelve Healers by Edward Bach

o   “For those who blame themselves. Even when successful they think they could have done better, and are never content with their efforts or the results. They are hard-working and suffer much from the faults they attach to themselves. Sometimes if there is any mistake it is due to another, but they will claim responsibility even for that.”

o   May present with a need to be perfect or perfectionism. They really believe they are unworthy but keep pushing for perfection.

o   Inner critic- really unkind to themselves with negative self-talk.

o   “Shoulding” all over themselves.

o   They apologize a lot even when there is never any need.

o   They focus on flaws and shame.
