cover your butt it's easier to stay healthy than it is to get well once you're sick Metaphorical Therapy is not an alternative to the care of a professional therapist. It may help focus and streamline aspects of therapy but its primary purpose is to prevent mental illness through psychological education. We want you stay psychologically healthy. We want you to be able to help others to stay that way. Therapy, like exercise, requires work. Metaphorical Therapy helps get that work done and even makes it fun. It's not another meditation app. The System is all about helping to restructure thinking to change unhealthy behaviour. You don't develop muscles by thinking about exercise!
