Black-eyed Susan is for those who tend to push down feelings. It is a powerful essence for opening gently to old, painful areas we’ve walled off. Black-eyed Susan lends courage to go deep within and release what has been held in the subconscious. This essence brings light into the darkest places, helping you recognize and set down long-carried hurts and burdens.
For Animals
The anti-repressor. This essence is specifically for walled-off trauma that the animal's psyche sealed away for survival and now cannot or will not access. The distinction from the other trauma essences is this: the trauma is not showing as shock, shutdown, or identity loss. It is hidden. Buried. And it leaks out as unexplained behavioral problems, disproportionate reactions, or aggression that does not match the present situation. The rescue dog whose history is unknown but whose behavior suggests a reservoir of buried pain being triggered by things no one can identify. The cat who is perfectly fine for weeks and then has an inexplicable meltdown. The horse whose explosive reaction to something minor tells you there is a much bigger story underneath. Black-eyed Susan brings light into the animal's darkest sealed-off places, allowing gradual release rather than sudden flooding. It is the essence for the animal whose trauma is not visible on the surface but is clearly driving behavior from below. (If the animal's trauma is visible through startle responses, shutdown, or personality change, start with Arnica, Star of Bethlehem, or Echinacea. Black-eyed Susan is for the buried stuff that produces symptoms the owner cannot explain.)

How Blackeyed Susan Worked For Darla M
"As with other other flower essences I’ve tried, I didn’t really know what to expect from this, other than that it is to help release repressed emotional traumas, aid in the healing process, removing any residual effects of them. So, after taking them a short while, I could not sleep one night because of seemingly random thoughts going through my head. I realized these thoughts were words and scenes that had hurtful, angry and negative emotional effects on me.
At the same time I realized that these have been just under the surface for a while but my knee jerk reaction was to stuff them. Then I had the ability to look carefully at each one and deal with them in the quiet safety of my room. Some thoughts/situations required me to forgive others, some I had to confess and ask forgiveness, but the whole time I was relaxed and calm. There may be more things, this may just be the beginning as I am in my 50s, but I do feel like a weight of emotional baggage has lifted from me.
Also, what is probably a default side effect of having these thoughts/situations come up one after the other in a quiet place has defragmented some mysterious emotions that I didn’t see were related before. When I’m around my kids or grandkids that are around the same age as I was in the situations that have come up, I used to experience similar emotions, i.e. suspicions, fears and even expectations, that I felt when I was going through my own issues before I dealt with them with the help of the drops. It’s much easier to just be in the moment and see it for what it is, not for what I fear may happen. Funny thing…I didn’t realize I went there mentally or emotionally before."
