Healing Metaphors A-Z - Heart Attack

Heart Attack
A heart attack is caused by an occlusion of one or more of the coronary arteries, which results in the death of the heart tissue that the artery feeds. A heart attack signifies heartbreak brought about by a shattered dream. We are in an acute emotional conflict or have grave feelings of disappointment. We have lost our sense of self and feel attacked at the very heart of our being. As with heart failure, there is a loss of confidence in our ability to go forward beyond the conflict to the next chapter in our life. We are refusing to proceed in life because we are holding on to some person, place, dream or thing. There may be guilt, unresolved grievance, or a strong element of revenge present.

Spezzano's metaphors qualify as a form of emotional abuse, where the victim is to blame and must be shamed. This gives you an indication of what is in store for you if you sign up for Psychology of Vision or "Steps to Leadership."

The whole metaphor concept here has been swiped from Louis Hay, in some cases to the point of plagiarism. Not only is POV a form of abuse, it is never original. Everything they market has been lifted from someone else.
