We share the metaphors that help clients grasp complex ideas fast, from skill trees and storm shelters to gumballs and garden care. We focus on choosing images that fit culture, age, and context so insights translate into action.
• coping as skill trees and gym habits
• grief as a ball in a box with changing hits
• safety and boundaries with weather and field conditions
• attachment styles with gumballs and trades
• relationships as the ultimate group project
• dropping the backpack of bricks and updating toolboxes
• avoidance as a messy room that still needs cleaning
• recovery lessons from broken bones and rest
• self-care as watering plants and choosing the right fence
• picking metaphors that match client interests and backgrounds
