lato’s Allegory of the Cave describes people chained in darkness, mistaking shadows on the wall for the whole of reality. Only by turning toward the light—toward what casts the shadows—can they begin to see the world as it truly is. In therapy, we often work in the shadows: the protections,  old narratives, and  self-world constructs that shape experience. Yet each of these is influenced by something deeper and less visible. Turning toward that source can open the way to meaningful change.
