This is a powerful dramatization of the patterns of self sabotage one can become mired in. One may already hold all the tools to free themselves. But instead of looking at what they have, they continue to search for resources and rescue outside themselves. It doesn't occur to them to use the tools within their grasp to free themselves.
It changes a person's identity when they no longer have strings to fight against.. pulling them back from... what they truly want. Once they are FREE. Then they have agency to want more than freedom. To not just struggle to survive-but Thrive!
It is a hard process. But it Can be done.
There is more to life. And we can learn to recognize the tools we hold... and use them to cut the cords that bind us ….
