A good analogy is the DnD scenario with the treasure and the dragon. The reason those fantasy stories are compelling is that it’s not just some pile of the treasure in a cave. The main character has to face the most difficult and terrifying thing they’ve ever faced, a freaking dragon, in order to get that treasure. The dragon being an effective metaphor for one’s issues and insecurities holding them back
There’s an old quote I like that says something like “that which you want most will be found where you least want to look”

my fav DnD dragon analogy quote
“Fairy tales are more than true – not because they tell us dragons exist, but because they tell us dragons can be beaten.”
