Metaphoric Orchestra Conductor

When it comes to processing emotions, using metaphors can be truly magical.

Recently, my sister was sharing with me about persistent thoughts that were troubling her.

I asked her what it was like.

She described it as a cacophony of sounds, like a really bad orchestra.

The cymbals were off-beat. The strings, brass and percussion sections were all playing at once with no rhyme or rhythm and competing to be heard.

There was no structure or order. Just pure noise and chaos.

 When I asked her what this metaphoric "really bad orchestra" needed, she said "A conductor."

She went on to describe how the conductor kept all the instruments in line, preventing them from competing with each other and ensuring they played only when they were supposed to.

She explained that with a conductor's guidance, every instrument would get a chance to be heard, and though some would play more frequently or loudly than others, they were all important.

In her mind recreated a smooth and beautiful sound that was both organized and peaceful.

As she was describing this metaphor to me, I noticed that she seemed a little excited, but also noticeably calmer.

She was processing emotions and didn't even realize it.

As I was asking her to describe what it was now like in her head. 

She said, "PEACEFUL."

From stressed out to peaceful in 5ish minutes.

Give it a try!
