When Rabbits Spill Their Tea: Metaphors to Guide Us Through Difficult Times

Imagine...

your friend's messy boundaries as a blender with the lid off

your heart like an overstuffed closet

your attention like a puppy on a leash.

Metaphors have the power to capture the complexity of our human experience and distill it down to simple, relatable images. This book offers examples of how metaphors can be effective tools for finding meaning and uncovering insights that help us gain clarity, direction, and a sense of peace. The format of this book is simple and, with breathtaking images to correspond with each metaphor, meditative. Simply flipping through the book, you are bound to find something that resonates, a reminder of how we're all in this together, and the comfort of knowing that through our challenges and pain, we can find wisdom and hope.

My Crisis Plan: What I Need to Get Through the Darkness

You are strongly encouraged to take the time to write out your crisis plan—to answer as many questions and list as many resources in the spaces provided in the book as you can. This can be done on your own or with the help of a therapist, friend or family member. Your plan can be carried with you or scanned into an electronic version which can be stored on any smartphone or computer.
