Metaphors are around us in more ways than what we think, they are in the songs we listen to and in the words we read on a page. Khullar emphasized the importance of metaphors through a medical lens, specifically with mental health. In some situations it can be hard for someone to express how they feel, especially when talking about sensitive subjects. Metaphors can be used to explain the uncomfortable things that can be hard to talk about. The use of figurative speech can connect real life applications to the emotions we all express. This makes it easier for us to understand the root of our emotional problems. Metaphors help us speak in a creative and fluent way, allowing us to give advice in order to heal from emotional trauma.
