I work with animals, and have used it a lot for shyness.... just not on myself - hehe!

For myself I've used it for specific fears, but have also used Golden Yarrow for my discomfort at large public gatherings, as well as Water Violet for my avoidance of social interaction at times.

I don't have specific stories about myself and Mimulus, but I support you in your exploration of its effect.

I also often use flower essences in combinations, so it's hard for me to always provide stories about single ones. That said, I think Mimulus is a great essence!

I have used mimuls, most recently when I used, I noticed I was less fearful with speaking up, I became much more vocal with people I had tended to shy away from, for the sake of keeping peace. In a sense it helped me access deeper feelings in myself and express them. There is a whole story to this that I other than feel like posting right now.

A few suggestions, if you can try to find "Healing Herbs" brand, they are distributed in the US by FES. Also look into the books of Mechthild Scheffer, she has a great cross referencing section in The Encyclopedia of Bach Flower Therapy. She offers great pairings of remedies that is very helpful in treating specific types of fears.

All the best to you on your journey.
