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.
