Cassandra's Angel
The Vision
“You are even more than you think that you see.”
It teaches that perceived flaws are often just misunderstood expressions of a unique inner world, encouraging self-acceptance over conformity.
Therapeutic Guide
Core Utility: Fosters intrinsic self-worth by distinguishing between external labels ('stories') and inherent identity ('who you are').
Conversation Starters:
- What is one thing someone said about you today that felt like a 'story' you didn't like?
- Cassandra's tree grew huge! What is one wonderful, big thing inside of you that people might not see right away?
- The Angel said the mean things were really the speakers' sadness. How can we be kind to people even when they say something unkind?
