Healing Metaphors A-Z - Heart Condition

Heart Condition
A heart condition is a broad category pertaining to ‘heart problems’. Having a heart condition means we have a loss of heart. We are like salt that has lost its strength. A heart condition indicates that we are caught in fear and hiding in roles and sacrifice. We are giving, but we are unable to receive. We are carrying a heavy load, feeling dispirited and losing heart about life. We are afraid to “take our place” at leadership and vision levels.

What is with the full and partial quotation marks around ‘heart problems’ and “take our place”? Weird.

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.
