Sometimes the direct explanation has been thoroughly explained and is still not landing. Your Assistant turns the client's pattern into a metaphor you can use in session.

Turn a client's pattern into a therapy metaphor
Give me a fresh metaphor I could use to explain this client's current pattern in session. Base it on the way they describe the problem and avoid anything shaming, cheesy, or overly cute. Give me two options with a one-sentence explanation of each.

Example
Metaphor maker
Alex · Tue 2:00 PM · Session 14
Option 1: The smoke alarm. Your nervous system is acting like a smoke alarm that became extra sensitive after too many real fires. It is trying to protect you, but now toast can set it off.
Option 2: Driving with the parking brake on. Part of you is moving toward what you want while another part is trying to prevent any risk at all.

How it works
It starts with their pattern
The metaphor is built around what this client is doing, feeling, or getting stuck in , not a generic bucket of inspirational imagery.
It gives you a few doors in
Try visual, relational, practical, or slightly weird framings until one sounds like something you would say.
You take the one that fits
A good metaphor should open the work, not make you sound like a motivational poster.
Your most popular FAQs
Where does the metaphor come from?
From the client's own pattern as it appears in their sessions and history, so the image fits their situation rather than a stock analogy.
When is a metaphor useful in session?
When the direct explanation has been thoroughly explained and is still not landing. A metaphor gives the client a different way in, and often a phrase you can both return to.
Can I ask for alternatives?
Yes. Ask for a few options, a different tone, or a metaphor tied to something the client cares about, and pick the one that fits.
Is a metaphor from an AI appropriate to use in session?
It is a starting point you evaluate, like a suggestion from a colleague. Use it if it fits the client and your style; adapt or drop it if not. Nothing reaches the client unless you say it.
