I'm a great believer in the therapeutic power of metaphors, for two essential reasons:
- They have the power to give another meaning to thought and the symbolic content associated with it.
- The mind opens up to communication, facilitating fluidity and empathy.
When these two factors are combined with a little humor, whenever convenient and desirable, then we have the perfect mix to make someone feel more willing to rethink and change their behavior.

Ah, now I have a word for it! Aftergloom 😅.
IKR?! That is the entire point of the dictionary I referenced. To create word for feelings we have and can’t express.
