Fish on a Hook

An Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Metaphor

Your feelings about this person/situation is like having a fish on a hook. As long

as the person/situation is there in front of you, you can see that he/she/it is wriggling

and in pain. But the only way to make sure that he/she/it stays on that fishhook is to

have yourself on that fishhook too, between the fishhook and the person who is hooked.

The question is, Is it worth it?
