About the Book

  • Why do we find ourselves repeating the same inner patterns again and again?

  • Why is it so difficult at times to feel our own worth, so that we constantly compare ourselves to others?

  • How can we free ourselves from the fear of mistakes, dependence on other people’s opinions, and lingering regrets?

  • What happens to us during periods of adaptation, and how can we recognize when we are being manipulated?

  • We read books on these subjects and recognize ourselves in other people’s stories, yet still feel that something is missing that will make real inner change happen.

This book offers a new approach
to self-exploration — through metaphors.
Here, metaphors become translators
of emotions, containers for multiple layers
of meaning, and tools for inner work.
Inside this book, you will find:

  • Dialogues from coaching sessions.

  • Original metaphors created by the author.

  • Fresh perspectives on familiar concepts such as

  • self-worth, boundaries, relationships, success,

  • public opinion, procrastination, manipulation,

  • and many other.

  • The author’s observations.

  • Questions for self-reflection.
