We welcome back the familiar face of Dr Kate Beaven-Marks to the UK Hypnosis Convention this year. She’ll be presenting about Creating Your own Metaphors for Change at 11.15-12.15 on Saturday of the convention this year.
Therapy metaphors use stories or tales to offer one or more perspectives of a situation. Stories are nothing new. Every culture has a history of using metaphors. Yet, as children or adults, we tend to relax when we listen to a story. After all, it is just a story.
From a therapy perspective, clients can connect to different aspects of the metaphor to take what is most appropriate. They can be used to help clients understand concepts, challenge or establish a belief, offer alternatives, and give a symbolic interpretation for the client to connect to.
This session will explore different styles of therapeutic metaphors and delivery methods. Then, we will dive into a tried and tested 5 step process for creating therapeutic metaphors. Participants will then get to create their own therapeutic metaphor.
