Healing Metaphors A-Z - Fracture

Fracture
A fracture means that the surface of a bone has been broken or cracked. This shows an area where we are caught in self-attack and judgment of another. Something that was buried at an unconscious level has now come up for healing. As a result, we have lost a level of confidence or strength; we have experienced a fracture of self, which points to some deeper emotional conflict. At some level, we have suffered a kind of emotional fracture or heartbreak as a result of this conflict. The area of our body that has suffered the fracture will give us a significant clue as to our underlying psychological process.

My metaphor: Or it could mean you simply had a random accident and broke a bone and those are the "breaks" in life.

So does Spezzano's metaphor apply here to victims of earthquakes, war, tornadoes, car wrecks, plane crashes, etc.? Spezzano is promoting something truly evil in these metaphors of his.
