The Oak
YOUR DOMINANT ARCHETYPE
"If I stay strong and vigilant, everything will hold together and be okay."
The Oak is the one others lean on. She stabilizes, protects, and endures, often without complaint. Her strength is real and earned. But when this archetype dominates for too long, the body begins to harden in response. Muscles tighten, pain accumulates, and rest feels unsafe. The body is not failing, it's signaling that strength without softness becomes strain.
Healing for the Oak is about learning that support does not require constant vigilance.
