This is such a great metaphor, and I love a good metaphor
Everyone talks about how humans are expected to work like machines with no breaks & constant productivity, but growing up as a machinist's daughter, I know how often machines break down & need maintenance. My dad would have had a very different life otherwise. I actually have a post drafted about this that I haven't finished yet
Awesome analogy! It reminds me of Sarah Schauers podcast on betrayal trauma and the freeze response. She compared the freeze response to a car with frozen break pads and how its dangerous to perform or drive like that. But there are methods to thaw them that can be tried before you have to leave the driveway.

Beautiful metaphor with many important things to think about. I wrote a similar post about when the warning lights come on in my car. : )
I love this so much. Thank you 🙏🏻
What a beautiful and relatable metaphor in oh so many ways 💖!
Thank you for this reminder ❤️
