# 113 - The Spiral: A Psychological and Natural Archetype of Transformation
Ask The Lemon Tree Coaching Podcast a Question. Text the TLT Pod today.
In this episode, we examine the spiral, not as a metaphor, but as a recurring pattern found across both the natural world and the human psyche. Far from being a simple geometric figure, the spiral emerges as a symbol of growth, evolution, and cyclical transformation.
We explore its presence in nature, from galaxies to weather systems to DNA, and consider its psychological significance: what it means to spiral inward toward introspection, shadow work, and self-awareness, and what it means to spiral outward toward integration, expression, and relational engagement.
This episode challenges the notion that healing or progress follows a linear path, and instead offers the spiral as a more accurate and compassionate model for understanding personal development.
