Discover The
Hidden Power of Metaphors
For Optimal Change & Genuine Transformation
This video will introduce you to the power of metaphors and how they can be helpful in changework. If you want to learn how to effectively elicit and interpret metaphors,
please join us in one of the hands-on workshops described below!
"What's that situation like?"
The Power of Metaphors
The unconscious mind stores memories metaphorically and communicates with the conscious mind through visions and symbols. Unfortunately, most people don't know how to tap into this wisdom. In this workshop, you'll discover how to uncover valuable insights about the structure and dynamics of any issue, situation or relationship by eliciting relevant metaphors.
A Treasure Trove of Hidden Wisdom
The depths of your mind hold a treasure trove of valuable wisdom that can help you better understand situations and more effectively solve issues that block your fullest potential. Not all aspects of experiences, thoughts, beliefs, etc. are stored cognitively. Most "whole system" or "whole gist" information is stored metaphorically because metaphors hold the most truth in the smallest space. Unless they are elicited and deciphered, important information remains untapped as a source for insight and wisdom. For most people, this powerful part of our being remains a mystery, its voices unheard, its messages missed or misunderstood.
The Bridge to Deeper Understanding
Would you like to easily unlock a treasure trove of information and understand the messages the whole mind is trying to convey?
Think of the clarity and insight you could bring to challenges, the deep understanding you could bring to relationships, and the innovative solutions you could implement for problems. Introduction to the Power of Metaphor - Workshop In this transformative workshop, you'll discover how to elicit (not create) an explicit metaphor about the situation at hand - enabling you to tap into the wisdom of the entire system.
In This Hands-On, Try-It-For-Yourself, 6 Hour Workshop
We'll guide you through the dos and don'ts of metaphor elicitation, interpretation and application.
You Will Discover:
The Basics of Metaphoric Memory: Understand how the unconscious mind communicates and why it's essential to listen.
How to Elicit Relevant Metaphors: A step-by-step process to access and elicit the most valuable metaphorical representation of a situation or relationship.
How to Decipher the Language of the Unconscious: Uncover details and messages the unconscious mind is sending.
How to Navigate the Map: The directions and placements of elements in the each metaphor are not random. Learn what they mean and be amazed at how much they reveal about the situation at hand.
How to Read a Metaphor: Learn to read metaphors literally so you can extract the wisdom of the person's own system (rather than inserting your own opinions, assumptions, emotions, responses, etc.)
How to Apply the Insights to Real-life Situations: Once you understand what a metaphor has revealed, you can compare it to current solution attempts and rectify any mismatches. For example, if a person is in a "pit of despair", a solution of "moving forward" isn't likely to succeed due to the walls of the pit. (This is often the reason why many people just can't change and are doomed to stay stuck or repeat poor practices.)
How to Test Potential Changes: While making changes directly to a metaphor is not recommended, you will learn what you can do to test which next steps are most likely to result in optimal change.
Are You a Coach, Therapist, or a Practitioner of IFS, NLP or the Enneagram?
You will be particularly interested in this workshop - not just for your own growth, development and insight, but to discover how eliciting metaphors can enhance and inform your current protocols.
You will literally "see" the client's issues (even if they aren't able to see or express them accurately) and you can tailor your protocols with or without going into the content of the dynamics you see (often much to the surprise of the client).
Are You in a Relationship, Partnership, or On a Team?
You will find this information incredibly useful whether you formally elicit metaphors from the people around you or not. You will start hearing people express things in metaphors and be able to understand problems at a deeper level.
For example, if one partner says the relationship is like, "two peas in a pod" while the other feels, "looked down upon,"
or if one business partner is focusing on "launching" a new project or "hitting one out of the park", while another partner is working on "saving a sinking ship" - you can see where metaphor mismatch is a big part of the shared problem.
By understanding what different elements in Metaphors mean, you can better assist in situations like this even if you don't want to bring up the Metaphors to the people themselves.
