Abstract

Stories are said to be the portico of transcendental values and the bundle in which sacred wisdom is wrapped. Whether comic, cosmic, or mythic, a story, just as a dream, can revitalize one's inspiration for life, strengthen resilience, spark creativity, and transform the stature of the soul. Just as dreams do, stories can effectively enhance the therapy process. My experience with storytelling in therapy has shown that for souls burdened with the residue of exaggerated encounters with life, stories can be like a compass, providing an azimuth that can deliver one from the grip of adversity to the renewal of hope. This article presents the fable of “Traveling Man and the Man Beneath the Tree” to illustrate the equifinality of storytelling and dreams as catalysts in fostering the spirit of individuation.
