Life

You feel moderate difficulty navigating life at present with an overwhelming feeling of being unappreciated, or depreciated. Whilst there is mild pain present, you feel that life has soiled you in some manner that you no longer feel pristine, and that others have devalued you.

Sexual Relationships

You feel a sense of stagnation within your relationships, with displeasure in a sexual relationship, possibly stuck, where at times perhaps under the control of others swirling you around. Your wondering what is normal. Possibly asking yourself, "is this something one goes through in order to get on with life?"

Support System

You show an innocent idealism about your support, though very aware of not having good support systems in the past. You feel neglect towards not being appreciated, as those depreciated are atleast paid some attention. Sadness is overwhelming here. You feel a lack of confidence within yourself, outlining a poor self esteem is present.

Commitment

You are very committed towards your relationships; however you're in denial in regard to the way you have been treated in past relationships, as you have a sense of abandonment from past relationships, adding to your present sadness.

Most Significant Problem

Your largest present problem is the feeling of victimization. The conditions necessary for us to grow big and strong were not always present, if present at all; for example, if love does not truly exist between us and our parents, we may feel we have fallen from their love. You feel there is very much hope for the future, and are quite optimistic for your future that lay awaiting you.

What do you feel in relation to the above Cathy? What connection can you make from your mental image?

Cathy, lets explore something a bit further.

Imagine that a movie is being made of the tree falling, capturing the entire process.

# What time of day or night is it?
# What does the sky look like?
# What is the weather like?
# Describe the conditions like a weather report, temperature, wind speed and whether it is raining or not.
# Describe why and how the tree fell?
