Review,Reflec, Revise
THERAPEUTIC USE OF STORY TELLING MODULE really a big challenge for me! I like story, i like to write about my own story, experience, and i used to kept my personal diary since secondary school, and i still practice it. Now i got a lot of diary book, all recording my past, the history of yesterday!
In this challenge, i choose to be here, stay in where i work now, where i be now. previously, i do not think of being in this job position, but there is always a reason behind, WHY people choose to be in this, make sense isn't it? people always have their own reason for what they are doing.
in the 6 part story, the shadow, i picked the mountain, 2nd card.
actually i am quite blur, that time, as i am rushing back from other place.
i do not know what to say " and i say
"The lake dragon was surrounding by the most harmony mountain, and this mountain was used to be as the GOD of TATA, the god of mountain protect the harmony land which the ladies stayed, and it also kept an eye on the black dragon."
Alex feedback, NO, it is about the task! the first card is the main character, then, the 2nd card should be the task, the duty, what the main character need to do?
o... i really do not know what to say, my mind is blank.... and Alex keep asked what is the main character doing? with the card??
so, i need to quickly crack my head and think of a sentence..
"The girl was the guardian of the black dragon. the ladies need to sing in the lake everyday as the villagers believed if she did not do so, it would bring disaster to the village. Only her sweet voice need to sung every evening to comfort the dragon."
the mountain actually had been appear in my personal sandplay
this time, the mountain come again! would be a co-inciddent?
or it is just my personal collective unconscious?
What is the "mountain" for me? How is the "mountain" related to my shadow? Who is be with the mountain? Where is the "mountain" of mine, and How the "mountain: significant to myself? what is inside the mountain? where is the mountain? is there anything interesting?
notes J.C. Cooper,Mountains "are associated with sun, rain and thunder gods and, in early traditions of the feminine godhead, the mountain was the earth and female, with the sky, clouds, thunder and lightning as the fecundating male."
wider imagery of the story, the setting that contains the potential "energy seeds" - dragon - is in the water - lake not in the mountains. If the protagonist is a female (feminine) in the first card, she is looking towards the valley - water/lake (feminine) and not upwards towards the mountain.So the task that is being communicated by the unconscious if it is spiritual, the answer may lies in the water"
i am wondering too... what is this about my mountain, the lake (water) and the dragon..... lies in the water
trying to search to look deep inside... to read it, to understand, to analyze, to intepret ... ...
from the Psychological Meaning:
Mountains represent the lofty, planes of consciousness. It is the realm of the ‘higher self’, the part of you that has higher, transcendent knowledge. If i am dreaming of being at the top of a mountain may show how you now feel that you have risen above the common routines of life and achieved something with spiritual meaning. Conversely, it may show your desire to do this. Mountains can also indicate that you are in touch with or thinking about the higher dimensions of reality. In particular you may be thinking in a positive way about death and the afterlife. On a more mundane level, climbing a mountain may symbolise your sense of achievement and the arduous effort needed for a long-term undertaking. You are on the slippery slopes to success and have the self-determination to reach the summit.

hmm.. does it make sense to me? this is really co-incident again? when we are doing the group reflection, Pris keep us hurry, faster, doing the reflection, as the group need to do the intepretation of the story we create.
i say" I think if looking down from the top of the mountain must be very nice scene. perfect... but, thinking of climbing up the hill, actually make me fear"
what is the fear? as pris asked me to look at the fear, what's the fear is like, actually i am scared of myself!
surprisingly, i have the fear that i afraid i am not able to cope the challenge, the cppd challenge, i can hear my inner self shivering , how do i going to climb up to the top of the mountain? the achievement, the acknowledgment to myself, the place of the dream.... which seeker, thirst for it.... ....i think, i do not want to stay at the bottom of the mountain, i want to reach at the top of the mountain... it's seem i am not satify with what i have now only, the learning is so much... so many things to learn.... maybe there is another mountain again?? but this is the journey.... no rushing...at least i try to go up, and have the different view... walk down to mountain actually is another fear too... slow slow lah... when i am able to walk, i will walk.... walk untill the day can't walk lor...
maybe, i am thinking of upgrading my skill, my knowledge, my profession, to another level,
and i am like a seeker... searching for calmness, meaning, achievement, the soul....... looking for another one of ME!
it make sense???
i am wondering too...

my version: The White Lady and the black dragon
once upon a time, in the village of Satta lived a girl name Tanya. She was as pretty as snow, sweet as the honey, and generous for old people and yongsters. Near the village of Sata, there is a lake, and people from this village rely on the lake for daily routine. According to old wise, there is a Black Dragon stayed deep in this lake. All the villagers named the lake as Lake Dragon as the legend. Villagers believed the old wise, which is there must be a long golden hair lady with white skirt to sing to the dragon.
The Lake Dragon was surroundded by the most harmonius mountain, and this mountain was believed the protector of this peaceland, The GOD of TATA. Tanya, who is the only with long golden hair and sweetest voice was choose, to sing to the black dragon, every evening before the sun rise down. She will stand near to the lake, with her white skirt, and sing ! Her sing is believe will able to saved the villages from disaster. And, Tanya was taking the responsibility to sing to the black dragon, as guardian too. Villagers believed, if Tanya do not sing, then, according to oldwise, there will be disaster happend to the village!
At the forbidden mountain, on the other side of Hrmonius Mountain, there is a Black Witch who named is Marshila, she is the oppones of the God of TATA, and she always would like to create chaos for the villages. Marshila always envy of the Tanya preety, sweet voice, and generous, she she want Tanya to fail to accomplish the duty and purposely make a thuderstom to stop her to reach to her destination. She wanted Tanya to be blamed by the villagers. She used her magic power to create thunder and black cloud to let Tanya unable to find her way to Lake Dragon.
Tanya know, she must reach the Lake Dragon to sing! She is anxious, scared, and lost in the midst! But she remember, there is a waterfall near the Lake Dragon. The water of waterfall is moving from upstream to downstream, the crystal sound of the water fall direct her to the dragon of lake. She calm herself and listen with full concentration, to the crystal sounds of waterfall, when she listen to the voice , she try to follow the crystal sound of the water fall lead her to thelake Dragon.
Tanya at the same time pray to the GOD of TATA, and asked for help. She remember to sing and suddenly, she saw a white strong Unicorn appear, shinning in the way that lead her way to the Lake Dragon! Tanya can hear the balck Dragon soul that roalling, she start to sing loudly and loudly and when she reach the Lake Dragon , the thunder stop, and the black mist dissapear.
Tanya felt happy and feel that she is able to do the duty, and not let down people in Sata Village. Her sing had bring peace to the Village they stayed, and over the Harmonious Mountain, the voice of Tanya was encho in and her sing with love spread the message of peace, courage and love to all being in the peaceland! Eventually, Tanya knew there will be obstacles with the duty she do, she will bring her heart, and do it with more detail. She know she has the responsibility to take care of the land she born.
The moral of the story
In the Journey of life, will full of obstacles, there might be difficulties, as bringing the belief and heading to the right path, will able to find way out and reach the destination. Believe in your own inner strenght and be confident to make the moved!

ALS online discussion 19.8.09
this is really fun and i do not know how to descrip the feeling when THE ALS members record my voice and replay it online, at skpe
suddenly, i have the feeling for this golden long hair white lady, actually she is trying to project the role as caregivers who serve mercy heart, and trying to help the black dragon
the black dragon is like the unfortunate group, who's destructive behaviour was unwated force. the blackdragon is like our shadow, as in Jung theory of psychodynamic point of view, we project what we want the world to see us, PESONA
the PESONA is our behaviour, our way of interacting to the world, the human, and the PESONA is the preferred behavior that we want people to perceive on OUR SELF
looking at myself and my group created story, i can see that our group have the heart of the helper, a heart to serve the community, to work with the group of people that at the border of the society. me, personally was working under department of social welfare, priscilla and Cheng is working for children with learning difficulties and as well as trauma group, Melinda, phaik nee and seok binn is from working and homemaker, they have the heart concern on the children, the passionate feelings to work with the groups.
the caregivers is always play a role to help, to give, to serve and without any hesitating, they willing to take care of others welfare instead of themselves. they have the compassionate feelings offer to HELP
ya... nomatter how hard the situation, the golden long hair white lady will overcome the obstacles in the journey if life. no doubtful, sometimes we will get lost in the journey, we will face the question from outside, from the society, the client, or even ourself, ARE we DOING THE RIGHT THING?
hmm... i think the believe, the faith is important. very very important. i believe for each of us who are continue is this helping profession have strong beliefe on life, and on human. if not, they will run away from here long long time already, if not, there will not be so many people joining in this helping profession, be volunter, para counsellor, social work officer and etc...
when we are facing with the obstacles, please must not forget the vision, the original voices in ourself...
when we able to hold the value, we will never walk from deviant... we will be able on the right way to get to the destination
the working partner is very important too...
when we lost, we have the helper, our life partner, friends, colleague and also teacher walking besides with us... no matter how fear we are, we will never go to the ends... fight untill the last breath....
because, we are not alone....
we have support, we have beliefe, and with this faith, the journey can be continue...
it's really match with the moral of the sory
LIFE JOURNEY OF TRUST, GETTING IN TOUCH WITH INNER STRENGTHS AND FOLLOW YOUR HEART TO MAKE IT REAL.

6th Card: The world, Dove and The Golden Girl
Doves, usually white in color, are used in a variety of settings as symbols of love, peace or as messengers. Doves appear in the symbology of Judaism and Christianity and of both military and pacifist groups.The Doves was behind the right of the golden hair lady with rend colourful eyes shirt, and with a small world planet of earth infront. the background of the picture is in Blue colour. In the English language, blue often represents the human emotion of sadness, e.g. "He was feeling blue".
The sadness of the golden hair lady left behind with the peace and the world around byherself again!
5th Card: Unicorn
the unicorn is a mythical creature. This fabled creature is considered symbolic of virginity and usually represented as a horse with a single straight spiraled horn projecting from its forehead.Earliest references, of the unicorn portray it as fierce yet good, selfless yet solitary, but always mysteriously beautiful. The unicorn could only be captured by deception; the single horn is believed to be able to neutralize poison (Wikipedia). This may be a reflection of our unconscious self, sometimes only sensed emerging indirectly into our consciousness
The Unicorn in this picture, is just look so handsome, attracive, lovely and strong. Unicorn is heading to my left hand side, forehead to front like waiting to fly.
Where is the unicorn exist? is it exist in the deep forest? is Unicorn able to fly? i always see in movie unicorn can fly.... where is the wing? maybe the wing is invissible. we can't see via normal eyesight!
3rd card: witch
The witch normally represent the darkness of the world, the witch is evil, bad, did not sympathy, no humanity, hatred, and uncomfortable.
Looking at the card, the witch, is it part of ourself too?
if it is part of ourself? will it be our darkness side? the shadow,
In Jung writing , he said that SHADOW is a part of the unconscious mind consisting of repressed weaknesses, shortcomings, and instincts. It is one of the three most recognizable archetypes, the others being the anima and animus and the persona.
"Everyone carries a shadow," Jung wrote, "and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is." It may be (in part) one's link to more primitive animal instincts,[2] which are superseded during early childhood by the conscious mind.
According to Jung, the shadow, in being instinctive and irrational, is prone to project: turning a personal inferiority into a perceived moral deficiency in someone else. Jung writes that if these projections are unrecognized "The projection-making factor (the Shadow archetype) then has a free hand and can realize its object--if it has one--or bring about some other situation characteristic of its power." [3] These projections insulate and cripple individuals by forming an ever thicker fog of illusion between the ego and the real world.

4th Card: waterfall
Water may symbolize emotions or psychic energy. It is therefore important to notice whether the water is free flowing or stagnant {or frozen}, clean or foul. If it represents your emotions then apply accordingly.water is a common symbol for fertility, growth, creative potential {especially is it takes the form of a reservoir or still lake}, new life, or healing
Water is also a symbol for the unconscious. Deep water, oceans, seas, large lakes often symbolize the collective unconscious. Smaller bodies of water may symbolize the personal unconscious.
WATER is a feminine symbol, representing either your own femininity {whether you are a male or female}, or your mother. It is therefore important to note your reaction to the water in your dream. Are you afraid of water in real life? This may mean you are afraid of women {if you are a man}, of your mother, or of your unconscious {hidden aspects that can be emotionally disturbing when brought to consciousness}. Reference: Eric Ackroyd
In the article, it is intepretation about the dreamd of water. WATER can be my own ferminity. HOW i LOOK at water? how i perceived them. Am i love water. of course i do. without water, i think i can't live. so do my mother, withouth my mother, i won't be here today... i gueess
The picture of this water fall look so serenity, ppeaceful and comfortable. if i am able to swim, in this waterfall, it must be fun!
2nd card: mountain
http://symbolism.wikia.com/wiki/MountainMountain can be symbolize as obstacle, climbing over one or passing through a range; indicates overcoming obstacles or making progress, or climbing up a mountain or other height often indicates spiritual or mental "rising" or improvement
Mountains can also be used to create a secluded, isolated or hard to reach place. Such a place could symbolize loneliness or difficult to achieve mental, spiritual or emotional states.
Throughout history, mountains have symbolized constancy, eternity, firmness and stillness.
Mountain tops, notes J.C. Cooper, "are associated with sun, rain and thunder gods and, in early traditions of the feminine godhead, the mountain was the earth and female, with the sky, clouds, thunder and lightning as the fecundating male."
On the spiritual level, observes Cooper, "mountain tops represent the state of full consciousness." Cooper notes that pilgrimmages up sacred mountains symbolize aspiration and renunciation of worldly desires.
The profoundest symbolism of the mountain, Cirlot notes, is one that imparts a sacred character by uniting the concept of mass, as an expression of being, with the idea of verticality.
http://www.symbolism.org/writing/books/sp/2/page6.html
Can MOUNTAIN be a holy place where one can find solution, which attract the good and bad seekers. Can it be the knowledge or the consciousness that we are seeking is hidden there?

1st card: Golden Long Hair White Lady
Color symbolism and psychology
White is the color represents purity, neutrality, sterility and youth.
White is often associated with cleanliness or sterility and neutrality
In Western tradition the bride wears white, a custom dating back to Ancient Greece.
White also a linking of the color to virginity and is known for symbolizing light, reverence, purity, truth, snow, peace, innocence, cleanliness, simplicity, security, humility, sterility, winter, coldness, surrender, fearfulness, unimaginative, air, death (in Eastern cultures), life, marriage (in Western cultures), hope, bland, empty (interior) and January (winter).
The golden long hair lady with white skirt standing alone at the lake side, with the back to audience. Her hands clasped together and like so lonely. Looking at this picture, somehow, if go deep, some questions arises from the bootom of my heart:
- What is the lady doing there? Is She a young lady (i prefer she is young)?
- Is she wearign a wedding gaun? white colour normally represent the serenity, pure, innocent and grace. Is this lady waiting for her man?
- Or, it is actually the lady has been left by someone she loved, and she is attempting to suicide by jumping into the water.
- Is she on vocation? just thinking to take as short break and to go to lakeside to relax herself?
Lakes have a strong association with symbolic aspects of the feminine archetype.
J.C. Cooper in An Illustrated Encyclopaedia notes that they are often the dwelling place of monsters or magical feminine powers, such as "The Lady of the Lake." In the Chinese symbolism of the Pa Kua the lake is the Tui symbolizing collected waters, receptive wisdom, absorption and passiveness.
The structure of lake symbolism may be related to the space aspect of place symbolism and specifically the symbolism of level J.E. Cirlot in his Dictionary of Symbols suggests that this is the case and that this symbolism:
"...equates all that is on a low level spatially with what is low in a spiritual, negative, destructive, and hence fatal, sense. The fact that water-symbolism is closely connected with the symbolism of the abyss serves to corroborate the fatal implications of the lake-symbol, for the part played by the liquid Element is to provide the transition between life and death, between the solid and the gaseous, the formal and the informal."
This symbolism of level is associated with water because, as Cirlot notes, water always alludes to the connection between the superficial and the profound. In this sense, a lake symbolizes a fluid mass of transparency.
Traditionally, lakes have symbolized the peaceful, contemplative life where one goes to escape from the reality of the world. Many vacations center around lakes and not surprisingly, the romance genre of stories often uses lake settings. This contemplative symbolism of lakes is mentioned in the ancient Chinese Book Of Changes:"Lakes resting on the other,The images of the joyous.Thus the superior man joinsWith his friends for discussion and practice."
As Laurens van der Post notes the Book Of Changes "personifies the lake and makes it the image of the feminine value with the greatest future possibilities of increase, calling it the youngest of daughters in a house with many mansions." Jung himself as a child, notes van der Post, was convinced that no one could live without water and he meant lakes mainly when he spoke about water.
With lakes, the universality associated with the seas and oceans is made specific. Van der Post points this out saying:
" ... the macrocosmic sea microcosmically contained in the earth and so made a comprehensible source of nourishment to the life and spirit of man. It reflects and draws into its own deeps and so into the heart of the earth all that it's opposite, the sky, represents and possesses of illumination and height, becoming a kind of mediating factor between two great poles, two opposites of reality: a dark, earthly principle and another of light and celestial sky and all the values they stand for."
This mirror symbolism of lakes is empahsized by Cirlot when he writes that "the lake - or rather its surface alone - holds the significance of a mirror, presenting an image of self-contemplation, consciousness and revelation." A lake most likely offered the first mirror to man to see his reflection in and the reflection of the sky above. Interestingly enough, Narcissus died from looking into his reflection in a lake for too long.

Hair in general represent energy (Juan Eduardo Cirlot, A dictionary of Symbols) . hair also signify fertility, and also correspond to the element of fire. Golden hair is related to the sun's ray and to the whole vast sun-symbolism.
The long golden hair, is signifies spiritual development. In India culture, hair is significant, they will keep the long hair, in Ancient Chinese legend or culture, women will keep their long hair and to cut the hair to give to the loved one as significant representation of the man she loved. The long golden hair with white make me attract to HER, and look at her...

The lady in white and the black dragon
this story was created by Author
Name : Chemelingpricsniebinn
Once upon a time, in the
When Tanya was a little girl, her grandmother told her the story of back dragon that stayed deep below the lake…. And it would emerge if awakened! The villagers were very fearful of that day as disaster might occurred. The white witch casted as spell on the black dragon because it was doing the bidding of the witch, burning and destroying the village so that the people would be at the mercy of the witch.
Tanya being the first born of the 5th generation of white witch ancestors, also carried the birthmark of the Dove on her palm, inherited the roles of Guardian of the black dragon. Tanya knew that this was a very important role and she worried that she migt not be able to take up the task, which sometimes left her felt very sad .
Every evening Tanya never failed to stand by the
The
On top of the
However Dhalia did not kill the Black Dragon at that time, because she knew that whatever action the dragon did was of it’s own will but was under a strong spell of Marshila. As Marshila was not so hideous at that time, Dhalia was able to render Marshila powerless at the time. One moon ago, Marchila stole a magical stone from the Elves World and began to regain her power bit by bit. Now, she thought it would be the right time to awake the black dragon and put into her power again and do her bidding.
Firstly, she knew that she needed to stop Tanya from singing to the black dragon. One day, she grabbed the opportunity and created a fog as thick as pea soup, making it almost impossible for anyone to see through. This was followed by a dreadful thunderstorm, strong wind blew and uprooted the trees. The sound of crashing waves was deafening. Poor Tanya could hardly find the way to the lakeside to do her ritual.
Tanya knew she must remain calm and listened to the voice within to follow the crystal clear sound of the waterfall. She closed her eyes and let herself to be led by the sound of water fall. The pure sound of the waterfall led Tanya in the direction of the lake so she could get there to sing.
It was a struggle for Tanya to walked in the darkness towards the sound of the waterfall. Tanya was very exhausted and worried, she then realized that she was actually walking up-hill and cried for help. She was about to give up, when she touched her birth mark on her palm and prayed to God Tata.
There was a splash of light and suddenly a unicorn appeared in the middle of Tanya's pathway. The Unicorn bent its two front legs and allowed Tanya to climb on its back. It then flew her out of danger and back to the lakeside. When Tanya reached the lake she saw the beginnings of waves forming at the middle of the lake and without wasting anytime she started singing.
As Tanya went on singing louder and louder, the song sounded sweeter and sweeter. The Unicorn was such an inspiration and sign of confirmation that Tanya was no longer doubted on her ability and was so confident of her singing that she sand whole heartedly. At that the Unicorn took leave and went back to his resting place.
Tanya felt a sense of relief that she was in time to save the villagers and bring peace to Dragonwille. The villagers came out from their huts and danced in joy. Tanya continued to sing and spread her loved and care, even to the black dragon in the lake.
As she gazed a far in deep thoughts…with mother earth in her heart and being able to breath again while the white dove spreads the good news of peace and love to mankind. However, Tanya needed to be watchful, to warn the villagers if the Marshila the wicked witch decides to strike again.
The moral of the story:
LIFE JOURNEY OF TRUST, GETTING IN TOUCH WITH INNER STRENGTHS AND FOLLOW YOUR HEART TO MAKE IT REAL.

Skeleton Story from Alex
The Lonely Prince
A long time ago there lived a lonely Prince. He had a beautiful kingdom but no friends to play with. He sent his men to find the wisest in his land so that he doesn’t have to be lonely any more. The wisest taught him ways of how to make friends and he was lonely no more.
Thinking of, how can make this story lively, be more attractive and interesting. i start to crack my head and think, what am i going to write in the start of the story, it's seems like fairly tale story, that the prince no friends to play, and do not know how to make friends.
maybe i try a little part... start a bit....
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a lonely Prince name PaniSuria. He is the only prince of the King Panihandsome and Queen PaniCatik, the kingdom of Paniharmoni land. Prince Panisuria was not happy, although he has given a personal wood car, there is a beautiful garden in the kingdom, and unlimited playroom with thousand of toys. The Prince Panisuria would often stand on the castle ramparts and look down at the young people playing in the square and sigh. He wish to play and make himself joint together with them.
people in the land do not knew why Prince Panisuria was lonely, as he lived in a big castle with all his family and servants, and there was always someone wherever he went. But no matter how many people were with him, the Prince still always felt lonely.

Taffy and the Invisible Magic Bandage #2
Problem(s) Addressed:
A child displaying symptoms consistent with undisclosed trauma and/or abuse.
Children 12 and under: particularly effective for very young children. For a child who has been threatened, this story, in combination with others, seems to be most effective when recorded on audio tape; this allows the child to hear the stories repeatedly. The audio tape can begin with empowering stories such as, “The Hero,” “The Boy Who had to Catch a Dragon” and “The Lion in the Hole” using the child’s name in these three stories. Make the story appropriate for the child’s sex, by changing the story character and pronouns. Then add “Rags/Taffy,” and stories such as, “The Little Fox,” “The Prickly Burr,” “The Burned Tree” and “The Big War.”
Let the family know that it doesn't matter if the child seems to be paying attention to the tape; the messages are heard by the wise part of the child, even when he/she is not paying conscious attention. (See “Letter to Parents”, Appendix D). When telling this story in therapy, have a large stuffed dog1 and a large bandage available. At the point in the story where Rags/Taffy gets an invisible magic bandage on his/her mouth, have the child put the bandage on the dog’s mouth. When Rags/Taffy pulls the invisible magic bandage off his/her mouth, have the child do the same to the dog.
If this story agitates the child, it can mean that he/she has had an undisclosed traumatic experience. Therefore, have the family play the tape after the child has fallen asleep for several nights. Once the child discloses what is bothering them, the agitation and dislike of the stories usually disappears.
MESSAGE
The power of a child is to tell the truth and keep telling the truth about what has been bothering him/her to adults who are powerful and can protect children. (Note description of symbols and metaphors in this story in “Understanding the Use of Therapeutic Stories” in the beginning of this book)
Symbols and Metaphors:
The constellation of the family can be changed, the symptoms that the child is having. The people who question the puppy (If a family member is suspected as abusing the child, use “someone” or “teacher” or “friend” instead of family).
Note:
This story was written for a four-year-old boy who appeared to have been threatened by his father not to disclose the abuse which occurred during visitations. The child was read the story and the story was audio taped at the same time. Shortly after leaving that therapy session, he began to disclose the abuse to his mother. She played the story to him many times, as I had recommended, and he continued to disclose very traumatic and extensive sexual and physical abuse. Note that the story does not give specific details which would lead a child to disclose one type of abuse over another. Rags/Taffy has been found to be an effective means to encourage young children to disclose the source of their symptoms.
Symptoms of being traumatized by a variety of experiences can look very similar. It is important to remember that a child can experience an event as very traumatizing when an adult would have little reaction to the same experience. For example, one child disclosed that a classroom bully was calling him "Luke, the Puke" and tearing up his papers in class. The symptoms ceased when this problem was handled.
Disclosure stories give a therapist an addition technique in helping child deal with traumatic experiences.

- Thorn: pain of silence
- Swim: cope appropriately with feelings
- Bandage "hurt" as it was removed: pain and fear that can result when a traumatic experience is disclosed

Taffy and the Invisible Magic Bandage
Taffy and the Invisible Magic Bandage by Nanvy
Once upon a time there was a puppy named Taffy. Taffy lived with her family and loved to play all day long. She wasn't afraid of much at all and everyone said that she was an adventuresome puppy.
Taffy often went exploring all around her home, looking under rocks and barking at bugs and spiders. She especially loved the evening when the sun went down, because she could chase lightning bugs and howl at the moon with the other animals
One day Taffy went on a journey into the deep woods, and when she returned she was different from the old Taffy. She was afraid to go to sleep and afraid to be away from her family. She had nightmares and shook with fear when anyone mentioned the idea of looking under rocks or going out alone at night. She often got stomach aches, and her head hurt a lot, too.
Now her family noticed that Taffy had not been the same since her journey into the deep woods, and they asked the puppy to tell them why she had changed. But Taffy was unable to talk about her journey, because while she was in the woods she had gotten an invisible magic bandage over her mouth and was told that if she removed it, she would disappear. Taffy must have really been afraid that she would disappear, because she left the bandage in place, even though everyone around her kept asking her why she was acting so differently. It especially made Taffy afraid when they asked her questions, because she was sure that if the bandage came off surely she would disappear. When the subject of the deep woods came up she paced and ran around in circles because of all the feelingsthat she had inside. She turned her back on those who questioned her and felt like she was sick to her stomach.
One day Taffy was stuck by a thorn, and she cried in pain. Her family knew that she had been in the thorn bushes and they asked her where she hurt, but the invisible magic bandage kept her from telling them. Those around her tried guessing: "Is it in your leg?" "Is it in your front paw?" "Is it in your ear?" But no one could find out where the thorn was, and it continued to hurt the puppy more and more. Taffy knew it was in her tail, and she couldn't get it out by herself. Her family finally got very upset with Taffy and told her that she must tell them where the thorn was so that they could help her. But Taffy remained silent. She still had the invisible magic bandage in place and she was more afraid to take it off than she was to keep the thorn in her tail.
One day, one of the other dogs, a mean old mutt named Spot, began to bully Taffy.
"I'll bet you don't even know how to swim," he said in a nasty way. "Of all the dogs in the world, you're probably the only one who was ever born who doesn't know what to do in the water. Ha!" On and on went Spot, teasing and poking fun at Taffy, until Taffy began to realize that the old dog was just talking to hear himself talk.
Going to the edge of the water (and more than just a little bit scared), Taffy waded in, moved her paws and her body, and went quickly across the pond. She could swim. The old dog had tried to trick her, but Taffy understood that children can figure out when they are being tricked. Taffy had found out that she did have the power to figure out the difference between a lie and the truth.
After her experience with Spot, Taffy began to wonder about the invisible magic bandage. She began to realize that she had been tricked into thinking that she must never remove it. So Taffy raised her paw to her mouth. Carefully she pulled at it, and it hurt a little as it came off, but Taffy did not disappear. With a great feeling of relief at being rid of the bandage, she ran home and told her family about it. Then she told them where the thorn had been stuck in her tail and asked their help in removing it. She'd had the thorn in her tail for so long that it hurt a little as it was being removed, but she felt relief once it was out.
Soon after that, Taffy went back to being her old self, chasing after lightning bugs and staying up at night. She found that it was easier to sleep; she stopped having nightmares and wasn't afraid to be alone anymore.
And to make sure that she never got an invisible magic bandage again, Taffy told everyone all about the journey into the deep woods and how afraid she had been to talk about it. And the more she told the truth the safer and more powerful she felt, because Taffy had discovered that the invisible magic bandage was not magic at all - it was only there to keep her quiet. Taffy had learned a lesson that she would always remember:
talking to trusted adults who protect children about her journey into the deep woods, helped her to feel powerful and secure.
