Crutch

This might say you are feeling incapable or weak in some way, or needing support at the moment. It might be something you are using for support because your real strength is not functioning – for instance alcohol or medical drugs may be a crutch substituting the skills to meet anxiety and responsibility. But the crutch can also be a support while you are healing or strengthening.

A discarded crutch suggests healing or that you have become independent of others, or moved beyond crippling fears or dependency.

Useful Questions and Hints:

Who or what am I relying on – leaning on – at the moment?

Do I feel incapable or crippled in some way at the moment?

Which way would I fall without support?
