Used carefully, alchemical imagery is a vocabulary for describing stages of personal transformation — nothing more, and nothing less.
Alchemical stages — dissolution, separation, recombination — have long been used as metaphors for psychological change. They describe something people recognize: things fall apart before they reorganize.
In sessions, this vocabulary is used only as a reflective frame. It helps some people name where they are in a process when ordinary language feels flat.
It is not a diagnostic system and carries no claim about physiology. If it does not resonate with you, nothing in the practical work depends on it.
In short
A reflective vocabulary for stages of change — entirely optional and never diagnostic.
