Source of inspiration 275: Box turtle


For a turtle, her carapace is her home, her only home. When she is afraid, she enters into her carapace to protect herself against different dangers. Do you know what a turtle carapace is made of ? Her carapace is made of bone and cartilage. Often it is rigid but sometimes it can be soft.

Human beings also have a carapace, a psychological one... For us, it is a wall that protects us against society, feelings, and painful relationships… Some people have a strong carapace, but they are often alone, they end up hating life !

Sometimes some people want to destroy their protective layer, but they can’t do it alone. So they ask for help from a psychologist because they are not strong enough to do so alone.

Human beings can’t live alone ! We need to share our lives, our worries, with other people, to have relationships. Sometimes you need to be alone, but feeling lonely is terrible.

So, stop being a turtle!
