The day before yesterday, at the supervisory group, my colleagues and I examined a client case (which, for obvious reasons, I cannot tell). I will devote the material to another - an analogy that came to my mind when analyzing the example given in the group. Until now, this fabulous metaphor has never been encountered in experience, but here it was revealed by a huge number of symbolic and vivid clues. Let's decrypt together.
The image of the Little Red Riding Hood. Allegory
Who are the Red Riding Hoods in terms of life prototypes? Not matured, naive heroines, recklessly defining their path in very dubious "enterprises" in "dangerous territories" where "wolves" can "live".
And there would be no (before the choice) how to think over everything - to assess the realities, to weigh the risks?! … But … Hats do not work like that! Since they wear "rose-colored glasses" and look at the world like a child, with an unforgivable for an adult, excessive trust, which often turns into a serious tragedy for the simple-minded, trusting heroine. (According to the tale of Charles Perrault, the Cap was overtaken by a wolf … And according to the results of the story, it was also eaten by him.)
To give clear life examples, the Hats are victims of moral and physical abuse, who stubbornly do not see their dangerous enemies in the dubious "characters".
And if you look deeper, they seem to have an unhappy, sacrificial program that not only allows tragedy, but invisibly leads to it.
Who launched this program, what are your answers?
Little Red Riding Hood's Mom. Allegory
While still quite a baby and childishly comprehending this story, I (like most other children) plunged into bewilderment: how could the girl's mother send the baby on such a dubious walk - IN THE FOREST, where, as you know, wild animals live - absolutely- absolutely ONE? Calmly collect a basket for your daughter, give a dangerous assignment and send her to the FOREST (practically to be devoured) … Did she really not love her own child so much ?! Or was she also in illusions?
I think both … But the main thing, of course, is the following: if Hat grew up such a victim, her mother, undoubtedly, was an abuser: just like that - out of nowhere - they don't become victims, there is certainly someone behind this …
Maternal insensitivity, inability to test life's reality, plus an unhappy internal "inheritance" and dislike for oneself personally (with transfer to a child) - and sent the Hat to be eaten … Not on purpose - unconsciously … As it usually happens …
Grey Wolf. Allegory
And the last prototype is the gray wolf … Allegory of crime and deceit. A bloodthirsty hero using the naivete of an innocent victim … Arising in the path of the heroine and committing blasphemous violence.
Is the wolf capable of doing otherwise, kindly? Hardly, do you agree? The wolf is the personification of a predator that eats weak food. Should we expect leniency and mercy from the predator? A pointless exercise! He swallows and does not lead with an eye - he is such a creature. Better not to meet him!
The end of a metaphorical tale
In Charles Perrault's tale, good, according to the fairytale tradition, triumphantly triumphs over evil. But in life - it often happens differently! In the example given in the group, the situation ended badly. Therefore, it is better not to communicate with the "predator". And even more accurate - to debunk the "victim" in oneself. This will destroy the sacrificial algorithm and reverse the unfortunate "scenario".

The Little Mermaid Archetype, Script Climax
The archetype of the Little Mermaid can manifest itself in a woman's life with its Dark Side, and we talked about its fatal component, as well as manifesting with its Light side, exert a destructive influence on a woman's life. We know the story when the little mermaid becomes a victim of indivisible love.
And She Asked The Little One "What Is Good? And What Is Bad"
Every parent wants to be the best for their child, I want to fill him with the best upbringing, the best development, the best and most positive experience. But before giving all the best, you need to assess what your child needs. It is unbiased to see your child, to understand him.
SPEAK, RED HOOD, DON'T BE Silent! (INCEST, VIOLENCE, PEDOPHILIA)
Today I will write on an uncomfortable topic for most - child abuse, incest and pedophilia. The topic is taboo, as it is inconvenient for all participants in this process - the rapist, victim, observers, accomplices. Yes exactly. It seems to us that there are only two figures in this event - the rapist and the child.

Is Little Red Riding Hood A Tale Of Sexuality?
At first glance, this is just a cautionary tale. But is it? If you think about the images in it - why the cap is red, the wolf swallowed Grandma, and the woodcutters ripped open his belly, then another meaning emerges. And to think about it, you need to walk through the plot of the story.
