Metaphor A to Z

Bowel Diseases (Inflammatory)

Inflammatory bowel diseases are diseases of the bowels that produce bouts of diarrhea, cramps and fever.

These reflect worry and feelings that we are ‘losing it’ and are not ‘keeping it all together.’

Existential worry, concern and fear can be present, along with feelings of being uncared for and lost.

There is commonly a subconscious feeling of sacrifice and the experience that we’re not getting a good return for our sacrificial investment.
