Evening Primrose supports gentle processing of emotional pain absorbed from the mother in early childhood. It is especially recommended for those who were adopted or unplanned, experiences that may have involved stress in utero. It's also often chosen for dynamics of being over-controlled by your mother, or being used to boost her self-esteem (therefore you had to be a model student or whatever you needed to excel at) or to fulfill her ambitions. It can encourage the ability to form deep, lasting relationships by supporting reflection around feelings of rejection, fear of commitment and parenthood, and navigating sexual and emotional feelings. It nurtures recovery journeys from early-life experiences that felt traumatic and can support developing greater emotional intimacy with others.
Womb-related imprinting can feel elusive to address, largely because most of us don't have conscious memories of what went on before we were born. Spontaneous and abrupt feelings of anger, fear, sadness, loneliness, hyper-vigilance, and even co-dependency are sometimes described as indicators of womb-related experiences. Research has reported associations between markers of stress in pregnancy, especially in early gestation, and outcomes such as disrupted emotional regulation and differences in cognitive performance during infancy, as well as decreased brain volume in areas associated with learning and memory in 6- to 8-year-old children according to a study completed in 2011.

Feeling unwanted has been associated with lifelong episodes of depression, self-destructiveness, or aggression. Being born out of wedlock in a time or community where that was not acceptable can mean you carry shame, or guilt manifesting as character patterns of self-righteousness, self-ridicule, masochism, and hostility. Adoption-related experiences have their own broad range, but common in-utero themes people report include thoughts of abortion, abortion plans with no follow-through, and direct attempts on life. Because these issues can be lifelong, Evening Primrose and other appropriate essences may be chosen for longer-term use. Some users follow a personal rule of thumb of one month for every year they've been alive.
