Healing Metaphors A-Z - Stroke

Stroke
We have a stroke because a blood vessel becomes clogged or ruptures in the brain resulting in potential damage to the area of the brain fed by that vessel. This reflects a place where we feel so much stress, emotionally or otherwise, that it seems as if we can’t go on. We feel stabbed by some deep hurt. We have a shattered dream, an immense disappointment or an idea that we can’t accept. We are in conflict and as a result we’ve put a great deal of internal pressure on ourselves. We’ve ‘blown a gasket.’

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."
