Strong trees have deep roots that secure them to the ground, where they receive nutrients for growth.
Their trunks are wide, their branches and leaves touch skyward, and their inner cores are firm.
Unlike weak trees that break during storms, strong trees keep standing. They may have lost some branches and leaves, but their roots and trunks are firmly in place.
People are like trees, with an inner, true self, as well as a false self. During life’s storms, some break, whereas others bend and feel hurt but are still standing because their inner self (the trunk) withstands the storm.
However, when the trunk is battered, even strong trees need support. Like the tree, we need support when our false selves created a feeling or a reality of being lost and broken.
Part of the work in therapy is to become aware of your inner self, so you can learn to acknowledge the beauty within you and to work on making changes and grow where you need and want to grow.
Life’s storms can make you feel you are not fully connected and lost. But you are not broken. You may feel broken, and I know that feeling, but you can heal.
Some injuries will heal, and some will leave deep scars. But you can learn not just to survive, but thrive with the scares and the pain. However, like the tree’s trunk, your inner self remains strong.
