Therapeutic metaphor – telling stories is an extraordinarily powerful technique for helping people grow and change. Stories work so well because they can communicate directly with the unconscious. The listener frequently experiences spontaneous flashes of insight, fresh perspectives, solutions to problems, and discovers new ways to utilize personal resources for coping and living life more successfully. Therapeutic metaphor has many applications in psychotherapy and is used by good communicators in every profession.
The material in this workshop is derived from the work of Milton H. Erickson, M.D., the renowned hypnotherapist, and other tellers of teaching tales throughout the ages. Erickson is noted for his innovative approach to psychotherapy. He utilized therapeutic metaphor and story telling as well as hypnosis extensively, and coined the term Brief Therapy for his approach of bringing about therapeutic changes for his patients, often in just a few sessions. Dr. Erickson thought of the unconscious as having its own unique awareness, interests, responses, and learning and that it is resourceful, creative and solution oriented.
