The Giving Tree: A Cautionary Tale for Caregiver's Strong Friends

The Giving Tree is a cautionary tale for caregiver's strong friends. If we give too much and there isn't reciprocity either in that relationship or in other relationships in our life, we can lose ourselves until all that's left is a metaphorical stump. Our last archetype to share is the intellectual strong friend. They've seen and heard it all and it shows. But what intellectual strong friends fail to admit is that this knowledge often begins and ends in their head. It's the difference between being a professor who has only studied something and a practitioner who's lived it.
