Description
Description: This workshop offers a deep, practical look at how metaphor functions as a core therapeutic process rather than a stylistic add-on. Participants learn how stories, guided imagery, reframing, rituals, and client-generated metaphors can reshape meaning around illness, trauma, identity, and change. Through teaching, live demonstration, and experiential exercises, the session shows how carefully crafted language and symbolic action help clients revise rigid life narratives and open new possibilities for healing, choice, and direction.
Syllabus Description: The use of metaphor is a hallmark of Ericksonian work. The varieties of metaphoric work will be presented and discussed briefly. The structures of basic and advanced metaphors will be presented. There will be a group exercise and demonstration of guided metaphor.
Educational Objectives:
- To describe the varieties of metaphor work.
- To describe three uses of guided metaphor.
