The “Life designing” approach supports individuals to development the ability to tell and write their life story which can be enhanced through analogy. The tool presented uses trees as a space to project one’s self and life story in 12 stages where drawings and tree stories unite. The tool's genesis and structure are shown. We draw from the case of Sylvie, a young adult experiencing counselling issues, to see how she builds an analogical lifestory through drawn, described and, related trees. The study of the two protocols shows the evolution towards the end of the crisis.
