Metaphor A to Z
Cystic Fibrosis
This is a disease of the exocrine glands (i.e. glands that secrete externally).
Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited disease, which usually begins in infancy and is rooted in unresolved pain. It affects the pancreas, respiratory system and sweat glands.
Problems caused by this disease include chronic respiratory infections, heat intolerance and pancreatic insufficiency.
Cystic Fibrosis indicates that there is some kind of self-deception going on. Metaphorically, an ancestral ‘big hairy spider’ is weaving a web of deception around us as a result of repressed sibling Oedipal patterns, usually involving a ‘cyst-er’ (sister).
We are unable to ‘secrete’ the pain due to some deep issue from the past in our family. This may be hidden by sexual guilt and revulsion, which are compensations for the attraction.
