Just like a tree that grows from the roots up, so too does our knowledge and understanding begin with what lies below us before it travels upwards and outwards. The human psyche is made up of many different parts, all interconnected and working together to form our mindset. When we are able to reach the root of our beliefs, our motivations and thoughts become clearer and conceivably changeable. This will in turn help us build from a strong foundation on which we can grow and explore. In this spirit, Dr. Stacey often uses the metaphor of a tree to help others see their humanity more clearly. By delving into what lies below - whether that be past experiences or personal challenges - it helps us unlock a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. With this newfound perspective, we can begin to craft our own narrative and embark on the journey that is tailor made for us.
